**The Official Shoe Care Thread: Tutorials, Photos, etc.**
Hello all, Just received a pair of Hoggs of Fife "Rannoch" boots. They look fantastic and seem to be very well put together. However, I have no clue as how to properly maintain them. They are in "zug leather", dark brown. I gather the process for making this leather is a little different...- medinfoto

Boot fitment - help!
Hello all, Hoping to get some advice. I just received a pair of Hoggs of Fife "Rannoch" boots in UK8. I asked before placing the order if these run large or small, and they said their experience is that they're generally true to size. I wear 8E or 8F mostly in dress shoes. Received them...- medinfoto

**The Official Shoe Care Thread: Tutorials, Photos, etc.**
A local shoe salesman (who is around 76 now) made a very long term bet with his son (who runs another shoe store) about whether storing shoes in bags or boxes vs "in the open" made a difference over time. A decade or two later they came to the conclusion that it _did_ make enough of a...- medinfoto

Found me a pair of bespoke Trickers (which thankfully correspond to my feet quite well!) for 25 quid; though they looked a bit rough the leather itself looked quite good all things considered. Brought them home and started a Saphir treatment. You can see before/after here. Even with a future...- medinfoto

Who made these monkstraps? (Baldessarini)
Well, got them in the mail today and they look to be in excellent condition. Gave them a quick once over with Saphir Renovateur and some Kiwi and they look like new. Been googling a bit and they look quite a bit like C&J Savilles, possible they are made on the same last? (The shoe trees I had...- medinfoto

Who made these monkstraps? (Baldessarini)
Hello, the model name is "Portsmouth" apparently. I will post some pics once I actually receive them, this one was from the auction listing. I paid 710 SEK (approx 100 USD) for them and they are supposed to be in excellent condition, so feel like I am getting a decent deal. Thanks! Adding...- medinfoto

Who made these monkstraps? (Baldessarini)
Hello all, Found some nice looking monkstraps on a local auction site and got them. Have not received them but trying to find out a little more. The seller claims C&J manufactured them, and it seems to agree with what I've found online, however I googled the numbers stamped in the shoe and...- medinfoto

**The Official Shoe Care Thread: Tutorials, Photos, etc.**
Thanks for the comments! They showed up today and I think the guy must've used a flash or other poor lighting to take pics of them because they don't look nearly as bad in person. I gave one a quick brushing and it looks quite nice already. No luck finding Saphir locally but I did track down...- medinfoto

**The Official Shoe Care Thread: Tutorials, Photos, etc.**
Hello all, Hope I ended up in the right place. Just recently started appreciating nicer looking shoes, and so far only have some very modest dress shoes of no particular renown. However, I came across the below pair and could not resist them; I gather the brand--Edward Green--is quite decent...- medinfoto
