Today we published the B Grade, Pre-owned and Final Sale collection here. Not a lot of new items, but there are some in the B grade and pre-owned.

Man, there is a boot in a size I am able to wear, but I don't think I need another boot. If only it was a shoe ?

Saddle tan Diesel's after some Venetian Shoe Balm, and brushing. They are taking on a reddish-orange glow that I rather like. View attachment 1226476
Did you use nuetral balm? Mine are still more yellowy-tan. I purchased them anticipating the change to a color like yours. I've conditioned with pure neatsfoot oil so far but that is it.

What'd you use to remove the darker stain on the edges? Looks clean.
That is the maiden wearing of those shoes. I did nothing other than remove them from the very sturdy, very appropriate box.

on this topic, does anyone know how to remove or lighten dark edges? I've googled this before and have yielded no results. I have some shoes with black edges and want to lighten the edges.

Shellac - brush on light coat & let dry;

Nothing my size. And my wallet breathes a sigh of relief.

Hi!
Any suggestions on which size I should take in traveller penny loafers?
I have very narrow and low volume feet and wear 5UK in Meermin Ron loafers, although I'm 6UK lengthwise and took a full size down because of thin feet.

Send a message to @GrantStone, Wyatt and crew are VERY helpful in sizing questions.
