I finally got around to giving my new Loake 1880 Ritz on the Mayfair last thier first conditioning(With Lexol) and polish (w/ meltonian dark brown) and just wanted to share my results with everyone.
The leather really came out nicely after first polish, I have yet to wear them.
Overall I am extremely pleased with this purchase, considering they only cost me $150.00 or so delivered from Pediwear. These are definitely a good value for anyone on a budget.
If you intend to purchase anything on the Mayfair, size down exactly 1 full size from your U.S size. Although a very different last, I would compare the fit to be very close to that of C&J 348 for reference. In conclusion if you have a wider foot (Anything E and wider in U.S) than this last is not for you. Otherwise the fit is good.
