Bought a cedar wood shoe tree from Charles Tyrwhitt. Seems very nice quality and hopefully will prolong the life of my shoes. Tempted to buy another now so I have one for each pair.



If anyone is planning to order online, Amazon30 gives you £10 off.

Unfortunately the shoes above have developed some scratches through use. I use normal Kiwi brown polish but it doesn't seem to make much of a difference to them.



Can anyone suggest any products to restore the colour/fill in the scratches?

I tend to buy "everyday" shoes from them.

I would say that generally they represent good value. Not as good as the premium makers, but stylish and reasonable quality. If I have a gripe it's that the leather half insole thingy tends to come unglued on every pair I buy. But I have bought lots of their shoes - more than from any other supplier - and I like them.

i'll pop in store and try some on next week.

I'm in the process of ordering these at the moment:



Jeffery West Hannibal.

To be paired with a matching belt, pink Paul Smith slim-fit trousers, some sort of white shirt and a light blue Reiss blazer, for those who are stylistically challenged

You mean, you?

Putting designer names in front of awful idea's doesn't make them fashionable.

No not me.

It doesn't matter what clothing brands I'm paring with, they're just the ones I've found that I think will work, so I mentioned them. I also looked at some pink trouser from M&S, but they were a tad granddad for me.

I don't think it's and awful idea. I do appreciate your concern though

Like the boots but wont go with you have suggested.

The outfit sounds like a job for loafers to me not boots

Neutral. So went through some trainers and liked these. Wondered if I should have gone the Gel Nimbus.

I went for the Gel Nimbus. I'm neutral as well.

Very good shoe. Want to get something lighter for parkrun events though.

Watch this thread. I'm sure I'll need a second pair of running trainers soon.

You may well be right, and I have been looking at loafers too... I'm just not sure I'm really a loafery kind of boy

Pics of this kind of combo I've seen have been with loafers, so I'll try with both and see how I feel/it looks.

The boots I love anyway, so it will be no harm done.
