^ @Misterg12 all three really nice, but the "Gianni" bought me! More details for a poor noob please?
Also, each boot seems to have different width. Is it for real or does it only look different?

The Gianni was originally made for Ralph Lauren back 4 years ago or so and is now called the Galway2. There was a recent GMTO for this boot. Same widths but 2 different lasts . The Harlechs are 341 and the others are 325. The Gianni is one of my favorite boots. I did have the brass eyelets added to them.

It’s suspected that the RL by CJ shoes and boots were made on a UK D width.

Sure , I use Kiwi dark tan and a polishing cloth . Using my right forefinger and the cloth I put a light covering of polish on the areas I want to “bull” . Rub the polish in using small circular movements then add some spittle , alternate spit and polish . As the leather starts to shine up I generally use a larger circular movement. It may take a couple of 15 min sessions to get the boots “bulled” but once done they take little time to maintain . The rest of the boot is , a light covering of dark tan polish, leave for a few mins and rub with a cloth . After wearing the boots , I take a very small amount of good quality brown wax polish , I use one I got free from Pediwear with these , put a light covering on my forefinger & cloth and rub into any creases . I will then massage in with my finger and leave it , no polishing off . It helps keep the leather supple . Hope this helps .

Perfect, thanks. I always assumed cream polish would be better for any kind of grain as I thought wax would build up too much in between the grain, but Crockett and Jones also recommended wax polish for my Coniston.

Need some zug now though!

For those of you lusting after those rider boots I posted this past weekend. You should head over to this link and check it out. You’ll save $350 bucks off the price with the code:Friends&Fam-GMTO
More details in the Ron Rider thread.

The shell color choices are insane, not the mention the different shoe styles available; and yes, Horween shell. These guys are gonna break me.
