Okay, so the heel block of my Cheaney Ribble boots just fell off yesterday when walking in the snow. How the hell did that happen? I thought these were supposed to be nailed down?

Probably not worth the trouble, will take a cobbler 15 minutes to fix. Nails weren't long enough or something.Contact Cheaney. This is clearly defective manufacturing.

For cordovan, is there a safe wax to use if you want to mirror shine the cap? Saphir cordovan cream is without turpentine to be cordovan safe, but then saphir seems to thing you can use the pate de luxe and the mirror gloss waxes, but don't those contain turpentine?
The clásico answere is nick 4Any recommendations for conditioners that don't darken? Using lexol and I find that it darkens up my lighter shoes quite a bit.
FWIW, I usually just condition, and then use VSC/saphir's cordovan cream. Will polish when there's scuff marks.
Dear guys.
I own two pair of Dinkelacker Cordovan shoes and i was wondering about the optimal care.
Both shoes are brushed with a brush on a regular basis (almost daily). One is navy blue, the other one in oxblood.
Sadly, it is hard to find good cordovan shoepolish. I use a bordeaux (as close to oxblood as it gets) polish on the oxblood pair unregularly. The navy blue one only got polish once - colorless due to the lack of navy blue cordovan polish. Can i use any polish that says it can be used on smooth leathers? These are easy to find on Amazon, but they do not specify "cordovan" in the description.
Also, i only have one big horsehair brush. So far i only used in on the oxblood pair because i didnt want bordeaux polish on my navy blue shoes but my other brush is not as soft and i fear i already scraped the navy blue leather with it.
Even though i do a lot of shoe care, i feel like i can do a little more, i just do not know what to do.
Any suggestions on optimal care for shell cordovan are welcome.
This is what i am using for my oxblood shoes, it is not quite a "polish" but more of a creme. I am not quite sure of the differences though.

I have a pair of brown suede wingtips that I haven't gotten a lot of use out of, and as such has mostly been sitting in my wardrobe. I was contemplating selling them/starting using them, but after pulling them out the suede looks quite tired. The main problem is that it's "pilling" (hairs that aren't brown are sticking out) - and im quite at a loss about what to do. I've read that a heat gun/hairdryer might work, but I thought I'd ask the SF community about advice first. Does anyone have experience with this?
I've heard similar but have not attempted it yet. Steam also can revive sued a bit.
I have used Saphir suede cleaner before with good results but I believe soapy water can be used also.
