I don’t think so. They call this color beige. We’ll have olive, blue, beige and orange.

@gdl203 hey greg - I’m assuming you would choose the KS Traveller in 42, but could also wear 40?

Hey Thuya-owners. How do you maintain your shoes?
I’ve had mine for a couple of years now, without really doing any maintenance, and they are starting to look a bit dry and scuffed. I don’t want a polished look, it just want them to stay whole.

Just put some cream on them. No polish, no cream polish

i've also done basically nothing to them outside of a brushing here and there. what type/brand of cream do you recommend?

I'd just walk into a shoe repair shop and grab a cheap shoe cream or lotion. Those cost less than $10. Could be Kiwi or whatever. All you need is to nourish the leather and clean it from dirt

I don't own Thuyas, but I've been using Renapur's leather balsam for years on a variety of shoes (and leather car interior/furniture on occasion) for keeping up the leather and I think it does a great job. Might darken some leathers just a touch after application, but nothing that's ever bothered me. One little pot of it lasts me several years on average, too.

Thuyas use a waxy leather, which is why Greg is recommending to stay away from polish.

Waxy leather also means that over time our thuyas will get a kind of light film/bloom similar to what happens to shell and cxl. This is from oils and conditioners seeping out of the leather. It's totally normal and happens to a variety of treated leather.

Definitely don't forget to brush/wipe your shoes more often than you condition them to get rid of any of the buildup.
