Cheaney just emailed me to announce their new models for spring.

Anyone Alpha enough to get away with these?

Those trousers and the sandals were me 1980 , not quite that thin

I've cleaned my wife's Dubarry boots and used the Dubarry leather cream. But is has left white residue in the creases and they look rubbish. I have previously used a soft brush to get it out, but it polishes them - which is not the original appearance.

Any ideas chaps please?

saphir renovatir and try again?

Maybe.

I've emailed Dubarry and asked them. Their boots, their cream. Let's see what they say.

I think it is a case of white unctuous cream not soaking fully into the leather. I imagine that if I wipe them down with whatever the base of the cream is (an oil?) it will remove the surplus.

is it like a waxed finish or something?

[LordGrover]

Still have my Cheaney, Church, Loake, etc. for when the occasion suits, but have recently switched to more comfortable shoes for 90% of the time.
I've found Tadeevo and Vivo very good, and my feet are thanking me.

Won't be popular with many as they look a bit odd, but once you get used to them it's hard to go back to conventional style shoes.

Destroy them and claim ignorance before the wife finds out and removes marital privileges

No, the original finish is a smooth leather. It isn't waxy, nor is it polished. The cream looks and smells a lot like any other shoe cream to be honest.

For when you’ve completely given up on life!

You are presenting us with an example of the fine art of British understatement?

It may be a trick of the light, but do those plimsoles have a fiddleback waist?

Best of both worlds?

I think you're right, but the even number of eyelets makes them unwearable in any truly formal setting.

Inductionroar for the sake of your health, avert your eyes.

Lordgrover those are just horrible shoes.

Why don’t we all agree to delete the quotes and you throw them out and we’ll all pretend this never happened.

Do you still like music and beautiful women and singing? Can you still smile or get an erection?

Those shoes are so sad, they symbolise the slow ebbing of your human spirit. It’s like watching an old ship rust away or a once great building fall into disrepair and become a squat for druggies and rank old dirty prostitutes.

They are utterly utterly miserable.

I had to wear medical shoes for a year or two when I was young. They looked remarkably like those monstrosities.
