Inspired by another post...
Who makes decent cordovan chukka boots besides Alden?

Carmina

I'd love to get some Carmina's, but I just can't seem to find a decent selection in NYC for some reason. I guess I have to cross my fingers and mail-order?

I'd grab it in the Rain last. It looks Great. I think it's a large last, so you'd size down from whatever your British size. e.g. from what I gather a C&J 8E would be 7.5E in the Rain last. Don't know if anyone else can chime in?

C&J, also marketed through RL. I forget the model name, though I own the RL version.

Thank you. That's right.

which reminds me - does anybody know of a "cordovan care cream" in dark brown? i've been touching up my dark brown shell cordovan shoes with the AE burgundy shell cordovan care cream, but would like to get dark brown if i could.

NoVa-

The guy at SkyValet told me to use the "mid tan" kiwi polish on my dark brown C&J shells. Seems to have worked fine thus far.
