guys how u all remove those marks from the leather shoe? i bought mine from ed et al now got quite some marks on the leather is there a way to clean it off?

Depends on how you got the marks in the first place.

Leather scruff? Overly damp polish? Water stains?

shoes pros, some advice needed.
i dun really haf much made in uk shoes, infact all my shoes are from designer labels made in italy sort and i wear size 40. some shoes that goes in uk sizes i usually take size 6. the only pair of true uk made shoes is the JL x Paul smith i bought not long ago. its size uk6, and not too sure whether it was sized based on paul smith or what.

i am keen to kop a Edward green oxford on last 82. but the webby ( ashton Marks) indicate size guide as uk6 /us 6.5. i am not too sure now that i needed a uk6.5 or stick to uk6.

anyone can advise?

Why not you try crockett and jones hand grade. It's considerably cheaper. I have a bench grade model and IMO its already an extremely good pair.

I've never had a chance to try EGs but I'm sure it'll help first to know if you have wide or narrow feet, high or low in step etc. then research about it.

just my personal preference though.

Just saying.

Your JL based on 8965 should be around half-size bigger than EG's 82, so 6.5uk may work. Then again, if you like 8965, 202 may fit you better ... but as always, sizing advice is always a hit/miss affair, YMMV.
