Gigio Chelseas are on the 5067/1 according to my handy dandy catalog. Seems to be the last used in most of the City Collection when that was a thing. Guessing it's TTS.

Anyone have any photos of the Trickers Gigio in the wild? Trying to figure out what last it's made on.

No experience with them though.

Thanks. What color are the ones you have in the picture ?
These are Sign, Caramel and Polo, an MTO from Tge Shoe Room Doncaster. He’s running another.

Where did you finally get them? I didn’t see that update. I know Tricker’s have a ‘special’ acorn polish, but I would consider going for a Saphir neutral cream and polish from A Fine Pair of Shoes, found HERE and HERE. You seriously can’t go wrong with that stuff. It will last you ages, too. I’ve hardly put a dent in mine in nearly a year. I’m definitely not one to skimp, either. Oh... and it works out half the price of the polish and cream directly from Tricker’s...

I’m ordering them tomorrow, I’ll give an update then. Alright, I’ll get those but if I want stock colour, does it need the polish?

I’ve got a large horse hair brush and old cloth to use, should I get a small welt brush too? Is it just cloth, cream, polish, brush and shoe trees needed?

I want another pair too now hahaha, I’ll just stick with Stows for now
Sensible. The best advice would be to buy one new pair a year. A pair that you REALLY want - not just because it’s ‘on sale’. If you manage to get a discount, that’s a bonus.

Been doing well on the Black Friday sales withdrawal but..

I only buy when I sell now so it at least partially justifies itself...
I used the sales to buy Christmas/Festive presents. I treated myself to a pair of Falke cashmere socks... but I’ll have to put them away and pretend they are a 2019 purchase. :D
