A little maintenance for me today. Missed out on these Leffot Cooney 10th Anniversary beauties upon release but was fortunate enough to grab them from a fellow forum member (@ironclad) a couple years ago. One of the minor annoyances of C-19 is that I have yet to wear them. After a slight mod, changing the edges from antique to dark brown, they are easily my most dressy boot. I wish Alden would do more boots on single leather. These we're exhibiting some bloom so I decided to try a slightly different routine, wipe, brush, vsc (sit for 10 minutes), brush, buff, clear polish, brush, buff. Not sure that the clear polish added much after the vsc, but hey, I've got time (I'm on PTO). 3 shots below are a before, after vsc, and after clear polish.......
