Also: considering these. What do you think of the condition of the soles? I don’t have much experience judging these things

Look fine to me.

Thank you JayDotz. You saved me a lot of money, and pain by the sounds of it. They were so tight it felt like I had one toe too many.
I had the same issue before when I wanted to buy a GG. Incredible finish, the most beautiful designs and lasts, materials were top notch but so tight and painful to wear. I guess the last shape didn't suit my feet on those either. I was still considering them hoping they would stretch out after wearing.

It’s a reminder that the best shoe is the one that fits you the best.

100%. No point buying an expensive stylish shoe and then not being able to wear it.

I saw this beautiful green rough out Coniston which turned out to be a GMTO. I was keen to get in on it but was told it was too late but I could still order it as MTO.

Where did you see the GMTO green roughout Coniston? Did you see multiple pairs, or was it just one for the shop? Asking for a friend… 😉

no, saw on the forums. Thought it was Tod Snyder edition then realised it was GMTO

My first pair of C&Js. Very nice casual boot. Islay and Coniston coming in next. I like it the design a lot but there a couple of cuts on the suede. is this normal?

Cuts on suede are rare, try to move the fibers around to see if it goes away. There shouldn't be a cut deep enough that it splits but markings and scuffs are normal, specially on waxed suede.

I wouldn't worry about it too much unless you think it's cut deep into the underlying flesh of the leather. Waxed suede is meant to take on a well worn patina, and by next Spring you won't be able to find those scratches.

I would not care about those marks on waxed suede. The boots will anyway look quite different after a few wears. And after a treatment with wax you will likely no longer see the marks.

Thanks guys you were right. Worked the area hard with some dubbin and the scratch is almost imperceptible now. Went out with them first time last evening. Really nice shoe and an enjoyable experience. Very versatile, can wear it for walks, site visits, and add some class to more casual outfits. Got a bunch of other scratches on them haha. I just have to accept they're not a museum piece and for their intended use they are going to get roughed up

I just took delivery of some Whiskey Cordovan Pembroke's - what shade of Saphir polish or creme are other Whiskey owners using?

I would think the Saphir Médaille Cordovan Whiskey should be fine. I would just focus on brushing for the time being.

I also do own the Saphir Cordovan Whiskey stuff but have never used it. I always used Saphir Cordovan neutral so far.
