Match The Cream Color

[Style Pontifex]

I just bought a pair of AE's Bel Air in walnut. I have some colorblindness, however, so I don't know which cream from this list to get. I'm thinking london tan? http://www.shoetreemarketplace.com/M...ble_p/1002.htm I really like Meltonian but will take other types if a better color match comes up.

anything in the general approximation to the color or lighter will do. you dont have to match it exactly.

fyi, you have to try really hard, put alot of elbow grease, into even darkening shoes with wax or cream.

Oh yeah? Meltonian apparently uses leather dye in their cream, so I heard it's better for color retention or whatever.

Are polishes typically more potent for darkening/altering shoe color?

well if that is the case, match it as close as possible, i dont know what walnut looks like in AE so i dont know.

wax polish is translucent for the most part, so you better stick to cream for more coloring effect.

Why not just use AE premium shoe polish, which comes in the walnut color? Here is the link:

Score! Thanks, Poshak.

Any doubts about its quality or is it good to go?

Quality is very good.

I have used AE shoe creams for Chilli and Chestnut. No issues. Good quality.
