Wearing a pair of Cheaney samples I grabbed from Ebay.

They look very similar to the Paul Smith one above.

So I have a new pair of Cheaney shoes, their Balham Saddle Loafers in bronzed espresso.

It's a unique color and I'm wondering which Saphir polish to use on these. My thoughts are medium brown 37 or Havana 34. Anyone have shoes with this color and use one of these polishes, or maybe a different one? Thanks!

Trafalgar boots for the storm. This last in 8.5F are perfect with dress socks.

Cheaney Penine II in veldtschoen. One of my best fitting boots. I'm glad I bought 8.5G and not 7.5G as Cheaney recommended.

Agree with your sizing decision, 4436 last is relatively short compared to most of Chesney's last.

I have the Trafalgar in 8.5F and they have similar fit

I used Havana on this and it worked great. Also bronzed espresso.

I am so phenomenally impressed with the Cheaney Imperial collection.


I too like the Cheaney Imperial collection. These don't seem to get a lot of love here. I'm not sure why. I have two pairs of the Hanover Balmoral boots, in black and burgundy. They are super comfortable, although the laces break constantly. I get about 10 wears before snapping laces even though I take every possible measure to prevent wear.

The Hanover is definitely on my list! Really beautiful boots.

They are so pricy now. I bought my pairs when they were just over $500 each. I wish I got the bronzed espresso pair when they were that cheap. Lots of the Imperial shoes are out of stock and it takes Cheaney many many months, sometimes nearly a year to get stock back.
