I am not a fan of black shoes and think the pewter will make a nice alternative.

Thanks to your recommendation...I think I'll be back for more!

What polish would you use with pewter? I went with a neutral wax, but was thinking about black.

Nothing special, I just wear AEs. My Sanfords and my Troys.

And just for RJ, my wife's cat. For perspective, the hobb is 22 inches from the floor.

I just finished giving them a brushing, trees are over in the rack. Nothing fancy there either, just some wooden ones from Linen and Things.
