How's the instep room on those? I might need a pair of those, but have a tough time with loafer fits.

I sized the same as the my Leo boots on these. I have a slight amount of extra room at the toes than I'd prefer, but that's a problem of being a 9.25 D with a high instep. It did take a few wears for the left vamp to stretch a bit for all day comfort, but since then I have no real issues with my instep.

Same Boots, different light. GS Horween Ottawa boots. They look like different boots in the sunlight

I was cleaning a pair of dune travelers today and took a couple up-close photos. This pair has been worn for quite a few months and has aged really well. The highs and lows are pretty dramatic and it has a very clean break (for cxl).

If I could guarantee a pair would look like that I would probably buy them. Just not a fan of the extreme wrinkled creasing most cxl develops.

Those look really nice, mine have a few more wrinkles, but nice none the less.

What product did you use, Venetian Shoe Balm?

This pair today was just using venetian balm.

@GrantStone are you expecting a restock of brush's? Yours are my favorite.

We expect those to be restocked by the end of the month. I'm glad you like them. They are a little bigger but it's an ideal size when you actually sit down and polish a few pairs.
