These have turned out to be one of my favorite pairs. I'm doing a similar pair in suede for the upcoming suede TS. Yours look great on leather.

Doesn't seem to be an internet consensus on how to moisturize/polish shell shoes. Every page I read says something different. I have a pair of burgundy (but very brown) AE MacNeils that need some love. What should I do?

I use Saphir cordovan cream or Saphir renovateur on mine for moisture

I checked out for the last pair of the size 10 yesterday. May be the last one. Were you able to use the BC1818 code? It was like out the door for $528 or so for a pair of C & J cordovan boots.

I believe they are Danite soles. If you have received them, please do post pictures. I'm expecting mine on Tuesday.

Here are some pics I found online.

New Pair

Used Pair

I have received my pair. Cancelled the BB order because it took way too long to ship and bought a new pair from a member here.

They're amazing. A great deal and worth it. To me they wear TTS.

Very nice, as always! Can you share the source of your laces? Carmina's flat laces arent waxed so I'm assuming you replaced them. I'm looking for thin, flat waxed ones like yours.

Thanks, man. These laces came with the boots. Enzo Bonafe sources them from I have no idea where.
