They look awesome Nick, please post pictures after a few wearsFor my first nice pair of shoes, I grabbed a pair of #8 shell Leeds from the recent Shoebank sale...then got down to business of refinishing them. Fresh out of the box: Free Strip Show!! After Saphir Reno'Mat (renomat) to remove the finish and AE added polish down to the bare shell: After Saphir Renovateur: After a brief Mac Method polish with a touch of Saphir Walnut wax: After Angelus No. 600 Acrylic This is my first attempt at anything like this, and I'm pretty happy with the result. They colors in the shell are awesome, especially in sunlight! Many thanks for all the great info from this forum. I'm going to do the same process with a brown shell Jefferson that I picked up at the same time (you shell fans are a bad influence...). More pics to come. - Nick
I can't wait to see some long term testing on the DIY acrylic jobs.

I'm able to see the walnut Strand on sale for $239.90 and the black McAllister for $242.90.
Would anyone do something like this to *black* shell cordovan?
Another great shoe which is on clearance and being discontinued by AE, hard to believe. I was considering a MTO in burgundy shell but that is no longer an option.
correct answerSuede strands.
