Thanks everyone for the responses!

To address 2 points

1)
I chose to go black because I thought it would conceal the wrinkles on top.
Now after reading your comments,
I regret doing that. I should have stayed with the Burgundy,
or try even an Oxblood.
I will be more sensitive next time.

2)
A few of you hit the Bulls-Eye on the laces
Bravo.
They were from a Dollar store I confess.

Wonderful job!! The orig color is showing thru a little in the pictures, I think. If you use any of the shades of red to polish the shoe from now on you will really develop an amazing finish IMO.

Regards.
