I've used VSC on mine and white stitching is still white.Perhaps apples and oranges but I use Bick 4 on my Indy boots and it hasn’t affected the white stitching.

I hope people are up for another version of "What would you choose and why?"
(I wish there was a way to put a poll in an existing thread)
If you could only have 2 Allen Edmonds dress shoes that needed to cover all of your dress-up wardrobe occasions (tux, suit, sport coat and tie for work, weddings, funerals, etc.) what would they be?
The first shoe is a given: black Park Avenue
What is your second shoe, in what color, and why that one?:
- Park Avenue, Fifth Avenue, Strand
- Cigar, Coffee, Dark Chili, Mahogany, Oxblood, Walnut
Personally, I am very torn. Limited to 2 shoes Walnut is out immediately because it is the least versatile color IMHO. I really like Oxblood but think it may be more limited than Chili or Mahogany or even Coffee so its a pass as well. I like the Strand but it is too casual if I can only have 2 dress shoes. Maybe a Fifth Avenue when I am only wearing a sport coat (or when I am not wearing a navy or gray suit). My choices would be:
Safe choice:
Not as safe choice:
- Park Avenue - black
- Park Avenue - coffee
Fun choice
- Park Avenue - black
- Fifth Avenue - dark chili
- Park Avenue - black
- Strand - Cigar
They look so much better without the loud white sole, are they more comfortable than their big brother?View attachment 1509601
The nicest sneakers I will ever wear. Most won’t even notice they are sneakers.
Jason and I always talk about your makeups and how they always work SO much better than we picture in our heads. These are absolutely fire in person.View attachment 1509601

Looks natural to me, since brown would show very dark with the current colorings.Does anyone know which model of Higgins this is on the website? Natural? Brown?
