I've seen variations of this question before, but the polish that got recommended (Allen Edmund's chestnut) doesn't seem to be around anymore.

I have a pair of chestnut Redwing Beckman boots (aka Gentleman Travelers). What cream polish would match and compliment that light chestnut color the best? I tried the Saphir light brown, but it seemed to wash out the chestnut color. I've removed it, and am applying a clear polish for now.

Allen Edmund doesn't seem to sell their chestnut cream anymore (at least, I can't find it on the web). Meltonian offers a great array of light brown creams, but I feel like I'd have to just order 3 or 4 of them to find the closest.

(Fwiw, I get the impression that some people treat these boots as pure work boots, and put Obemaufs on them. I'm wearing them to work in a casual office, but want to keep up at least a slightly dressy appearance.)

Thanks,
David

^^^^ I suppose Meltonian Light Brown or London Tan cream polish could work?
