+1 Definitely want to hear how much the Sno-Seal darkened them. I just ordered some Red Wing Leather Protector but will use Sno-Seal on these if they don't turn out too dark...

It seems like alot of people on here they go 1/2 size down from their dress shoe size, which is what works for me in Red Wings

These boots also fit very narrow... so if you're foot is at all wide, I would think about a different style.

Ok, I normally wear a size 8US in dress shoes. 7UK for dress shoes from England. I'm looking at getting Clarks DB's and RW Travelers. I was told I needed to go down half a size from dress shoes to Clarks DB's.

So would I then go down a full size then to 7US for RW Travelers then?

Sno-Seal instructions implore one to heat the boot with a hairdryer before applying the goop.
