Working Shoe for Young Exec - Part 2

[All in a Day]

RE: waterproofing

Have you tried using leatherfeed on your shoes before, and would you recommend it? Instead of Renovateur, I use a leather feed to moisturise and waterproof so that I can skip the step of using wax polish.

Other than that I typically use cream on my shoes and haven't encountered water stains.

Thanks for the share.. My experience with cream has always not been positive, perhaps causing my bias towards wax

What happened when you used cream?

Water stains as mentioned.

N had cream stain my trousers' cuff (mentioned before on this thread too).

Objectively, cream is great for restoring/maintaining a rich colour, but where that isn't a primary consideration, I would go for wax for the better shine and (potential) patina.

Oh.. I remember! Cream not absorbed by the shoe.

Not sure if I recall correctly but u had a pair of boots patina-ed by Dandy? Haven't really seen pics of them in your OOTD pics.. Wondering how they are holding up?

And I must have asked this question before (but no real answer).. how do u maintain the patina AND shine? strictly neutral polish? (question open to the floor)

Probably applied too much cream on your shoes, no?

Hey bro, long time no see!

Don't think that was the case, buffed the cream pretty thoroughly and also, I only wore the shoes at least 1 week after the polishing... more than enough time to 'dry' up.

Of course in our climate, boots aren't the most practical to wear. I wear them only when I need to be flashy. So far, I've worn them about 20 times. Each wear is definitely more than 10 hours, lots of walking around and mostly standing. They're really one of the most comfortable pair of shoes I own.

They are holding up really really well. I apply Saphir Renovateur on them before each wear and it keeps them looking nice. The patina isn't coming off or anything like that. They look as good as when I got them from Dandy Shoecare.

Arc, your cream experience is really unique. I find that cream generally gets absorbed into the leather after a few hours. And a bit of brushing can get the excess off easily.

I think you may have lathered on a generous amount of cream.

I think you're confusing Allinaday with arcfire! Anw, this whole discussion is giving me deja vu lol.

 

[urbanturban]

Yup, wrong person. Should be All In a Day.

Oh.. I remember! Cream not absorbed by the shoe.

If cream isnt absorbed its prolly because the leather is already saturated with oils and not needed the additional conditioning.

Wax time

Allinaday better cum cream!!! But not too much later it can't get absorbed.

I love boots and the extra ankle support!

They look as good as when I got them from Dandy Shoecare.
