The day I bought them

 
 By: ChristianDK : April 5th, 2020-12:42
I wore them in bed to impres my wife.

And was she ? [nt]

She is very forgiving

 
 By: ChristianDK : April 5th, 2020-13:01
She is a family doctor now but used to work at a psychiatric hospital. It has been a huge benefit to our marriage.

Well... Thank you for this tip ...

Hopefully, I’ll prove irresistible tonight 😉 ...

Very cool. Are they yours?

 
 By: ChristianDK : April 5th, 2020-13:36
The shoe trees look very nice.

Yes...

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : April 5th, 2020-14:14
They are a lot of fun

Hope he has better luck getting s#!@ delivered than I do right now

Everyone keeps cancelling my orders.

I know the feeling ...

Shopping for basic items, is becoming like negotiating with a Rolex AD ;-))

Yeah, but at least the Rolex AD doesn’t pretend to have inventory

 
 By: NickO : April 5th, 2020-15:07
These online retailers lie! They lie! They say they have stuff in stock and then after you order it..... [crickets]

Good point ...

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : April 5th, 2020-15:20
Or, they just close the website and dangle the carrot that they may reopen shortly 🤯 ...  

Wait a minute!

good work done !

 
 By: mahesh : April 5th, 2020-11:10
now you gave me an idea for the next week ;-)

Looking very good! My shoes are all good. I’ll brush the coats later today.

 
 By: patrick_y : April 5th, 2020-12:05
I find that I wear black shoes the least. I’ve got two pairs that I haven’t even worn once yet! Brown, blue, plum, and oxblood along with sneakers seem to be my go to shoes. Beautiful shoes and nice to know you shine your shoes too!

Thank you so much, Patrick

 
 By: ChristianDK : April 5th, 2020-12:40
I’ll have to a agree, I also wear black the least. However I have been sloppy the last six months so they have been building up ;-) These days I prefer different hues of suede and cordovan. Don’t really wear sneakers except at home.

I like suede too.

 
 By: patrick_y : April 5th, 2020-13:10
I’m starting to incorporate more suede in my wardrobe for that softer and more casual elegant look. Maintenance isn’t too difficult neither, as there’s not much to do than brush it with that crepe brush. I have not had the pleasure of owning any Cordovan ... 

Blacks and Burgundy/Browns

 
 By: Robert65 : April 5th, 2020-12:57
Also used my free time to throw some Saphir on them! Burgundy & Browns Blacks ...  

Wow you obviously did a great job with the “glacé”

 
 By: ChristianDK : April 5th, 2020-13:11
Love those chisel toes on the top picture top right side. What make are they?

Glace

ChristianDK - If you're referring to my shoes, please be more specific... I'd like to give you the correct answer.

The shoes are looking good Christian

 
 By: JohnFM : April 5th, 2020-18:19
We look forward to seeing the brown, blue, and burgundy ones too -- get to work! ;-) What is your method for shining your shoes -- both product and technique? I have typically used Meltonian creams, Saphir Renovateur, or Bick 4. One fellow I 'know' from t... 

Wow, great shoes...

Black shoes are timeless
