Hi Matt,

Sorry about the delay in responding, I didn’t see your post until a few minutes ago.

I would recommend using Saphir Medaille D’Or Renovateur with the dark brown and medium brown wax.

As far as rain and snow, the boot can definitely be worn in all conditions, except for extreme circumstances.

I’m glad your enjoying the boots and really appreciate your feedback.

Cheers,
Ron

Hi Ron,

I purchased a pair of these and I love them. They are much lighter (in weight) than I expected.

Can you answer some questions please?

Are these OK to wear in the rain and snow?

Also how do I take care of these? I love the finish you have on these and want to keep that looking good for as long as possible.

Noticed these at Leather Soul. So glad you are working with so many great shops. You have a lot of knowledge.

Thanks,

-Matt

Ron, love the gunmetal chukka-how do you acheive and more importantly maintain such a shiny glossy bluish gray finish. My other cordovan shoes never have such a glossy fiinish. Would love any specific products or techniques to get such a shine

Hi Tomas -

thanks for the note! Yes….all orders from the EU area are shipped direct from the factory in Italy. Please contact me via email with specific questions and I will help from there.

Hi Ron, I see that your boots are made in Italy. If I order from you, will you be able to ship directly from Italy to Sweden? Or will it go via US first?

Regards Tomas

Hope you were able to ship those natural chukkas directly to the NL Ron. I’ll be waiting by my front door the next couple of days.
And I’ll think of something nice to make with that extra gunmetal shell for this fall… Austerity brogues would be nice…

Hi Kevin -

Thanks for the note! Unfortunately, sounds like a pretty narrow foot. I’m not sure I’ve heard of a UK C width, but I’ll assume it’s relative to our B width. At this time, I do not offer a B sized last and have had little luck jimmying them to accomodate this. If this is the case, I’m afraid I have nothing really to offer…I just can’t fit a B at this time.

Cheers -
Ron

Hi Ron,

Another sizing question for you. I realize there is nothing like a real fitting, but I won’t be near one of your dealers in the near future. I have a low-volume foot – somewhat flat, but not that wide. I wear a 7 / 7 1/2 UK C width. Which lasts and sizes do you think would work?

Thanks for the advice!

Kevin
