How has the Natural Chromexel aged? There was a lot of posting a few months ago, but hardly anything lately.

I noticed that the stitching would get looser and looser after every subsequent wear. I don't know if it's due to my foot and/or gait, but it got to the point that the stitching which attaches the flap to the vamp would stretch a good 1-1.5cm

Here's a picture that I had taken of it after about 2 months of light wear.

Looking for a good everyday lace shoe in their Chromexcel in a 7E. Having trouble location any. I would love to get the Indy shoe in natural or brown Chromexcel

Really nice collection. Have you ever considered shoe trees? With such a lovely array it would be a shame to allow them to lose their shape and appeal.

I do use trees for 4 of the pair but took them off for the pictures. Indy, Chukka and the brown and cordovan loafer do not get trees.
