Whenever I see my doctor I have to admire his shoes. Two weeks ago he had on an old pair of Allan Edmonds lace-ups, in beautiful and perfect condition.
The interesting thing about them was that they looked as if he didn't give a crp. about maintaining them. They were faded to a very light tan and the finish was matt, like he never polished them or even gave them a thought.
At first I thought he just doesn't care about his shoes, but then realised that yes he does indeed care about them, as they were totally elegant. They looked as if he had left them sitting out in the desert sun for a few weeks, giving them a bleached out almost chalky surface. There was not a stain or scuff mark on them, and they were in perfect shape.
Has anybody seen this, and how would I go about achieving this look?
BTW I'm new here so just go easy... Cheers, Larry.
