Hi Gaz, A couple of musts. You got to get the matching Berluti shoe trees they will make your shoes really last. They sell a matching last for the various models. Second, you need to practice and perfect the appropriate shoe lace tie. If you have not been... 

Can you make an instructional video for us?
