Hi there, which Meltonian shoe cream do you think would match Crockett and Jones Islay boots? I had an unfortunate accident in India (went knee deep into an open sewer in my lovely new boots argh), and after some extreme washing inside and out, they've gone much lighter - I prefer the original colour.

I like how they've (prematurely) acquired some patina, but want to get them back to the original colour.

Oh, this is academic anyway because I can't find anywhere to buy Meltonian in the UK (online at least), and Kiwi Select which is meant to be the UK version is seemingly unavailable in anything but black/beige.
