Does cream contain oils in it?

To answer this, yes I think it sometimes does but in tiny amounts which is better for your shoe.

I know Saphir Renovateur contains mink oil, but it must be a tiny amount as I know if pure mink oil is applied it will significantly darken leather. Saphir Renovateur doesn’t however.

Could someone help me find a belt to match these shoes? These are Sid Mashburn but made by Alfred Sargent.

I think this may be close.

Another longwing from AS.

Brand: Alfred Sargent
Model: Shoreditch
Supplier: A Fine Pair of Shoes
Last: 87
Colour: Mahogany calf
Sole: Dainite, 360 welt

Note: My favourite longwing pattern mounted on a great last. My pictures do not give credit to these shoes. When bad news about AS begun to grow in the web, I run to AFPOS to grab this beauties. Again, early morning light show this shoes much lighter than they really are.

I too looked them for months on AFPOS.
I haven't even the excuse of being dubious about 87 last, because I have shoes in it which fit me a wonder.
I simply waited - until The Last Pair in my size was sold.
Oh well ... sero te amavi ...

What was the bad news about Alfred Sargent? Honestly they have a terrible e-commerce presence. Nevermind that you can only mail order from their website, I cannot find their shoes anywhere at any stockist...

That is the bad news, they stopped supplying to retailers

First that it was going to be sold due to financial issues and then, as Wurger said, they stopped supplying to retailers.

Cutting the middleman does not always work in online retail. Some retailers as Herrings, Pediwear or AFPOS add value to the purchase experience. I hope that AFPOS could start selling AS again, they do a magnific work.

all they have to do is have an order function on their website and link it to paypal.
Maybe Bowen has the last call on it?

My only boot from Alfred Sargent.

Brand: Alfred Sargent
Model: Hannover
Supplier: A Fine Pair of Shoes
Last: 87
Colour: Brown grain
Sole: Commando, 360 welt

Note: As always AS on top with all the details (i.e. the pulling tab does not get stuck with the pants), the leather is excellent (soft but thick) and the last+pattern perfect. Initially I was not very happy due to the Commando sole, but today I just don't care about the sole, this boots are awsome. Pediwear still has some in stock, highly recommendable.

I got a pair from AFPOS many ago. They are my favorite knock around boots. The pebble grain is pretty rugged and after over 6 years of rough wear, mine look worse for the wear compared to yours.

Pics of a trusty pair of Alfred Sargent Cambridge boots from a few evenings ago They’ve taken some hits but continue to be great — very comfortable, supportive, and dry when it’s wet out.

 

[Kieran99]

Thinking of getting the Moore Cherry as my first pair of AS. In terms of fitting, I am a size 11 but my right foot is flatter and wider than my left so would it be best for me to order the 11.5? Heel fitting doesn't matter as I put in heel grips because my gait wears out the heel lining anyways. and is there any places which sell their shoes as I have only seen them on pediwear?
