I recently purchased a pair of Alden Leisure Handsewn Calfskin Mocs in Burgundy. Any suggestions for polish / wax? The San Francisco Alden shop website indicates that one should use the Boot Cream for car of this shoe. Any equivalent product that I can pick up around town, without having to order from Alden?
