Had put in a request for the Acorn Stow with Dainite sole from Pediwear. They just contacted me to let me know that this batch came with brass eyelets and natural welt. Superb improvement!

I would. Especially since its a boot. You should put them on when they are still new. Once the leather is worn in and soft, itll be too late

^^ could you mount them on brand new soles or do you need to use it for around 3 days so the topy would stick more ?

if it's too slick, the cobbler can sand down a little before putting the topy, easier and simpler that way

the creative & skillful rendering of different color polish clearly added dimensions to them... ie, that made them revel.

'just curious__ would such enhancement be possible to make a "C" Goarse pop? i had a couple of [Meltonian] "light brown" coatings on my Maltons, but IMO, they're pretty much conservative & restrained. i don't mind [consequently] altering the original hue permanently.

It's great to see Pediwear raising their game. Naturally, we're all fans of Richard the Shoehealer here, but nice to get some top class make-ups from other retailers as well at non-MTO price.

I went with the Acorn Bourton's on Dainite from this drop, but there are so many solid options here. Anyone notice the Acorn Monkey Boot ("Sunningdale"), also on Dainite?

Hi there, I intend to get from leatherSoul their spring Keswicks but not sure about the sizing as I was told the country style tends to be a bit bigger. I wear a C&J lowandes and my other Church's in Uk7. Should I get a 7 for my first Tricker's too?
Would be very thankful for any advice.

calling LS will get you the best answer

personally I wear the same UK size in all my shoes, EG, CJ, Church, Grenson, and Trickers
