Getting my Irish chef on while wearing my redwing weekender chukka boots

I know they are not Aldens, but always a good day when you come across dradstock never worn Dexter's in your size for 6 bucks a pair. Saddle shoes have an awesome two tone as usual but in a great caramel and chocolate brown combo and natural crepe rubber soles. They were one size smaller in width for what I usually wear, but threw them in the shoe stretchers for a couple of days with some Angelis Shoe stretcher spray and fit perfect, maiden voyage to my daughters gymnastics competition today with a pair of tan cords and Aran navy Shawl collar and wool newsboy. In addition who is gonna pass on another oxblood handsewn loafers either. These are different from my Bass ones because it's a matte finish which is nice.

Hi all, I know we have 1-2 folks in this group who are masters at shoe care. I have just ordered two pairs from eBay (used) and would love to get any guidance on how best to sterilize the shoes once they arrive. Also, any generic guidelines on prepping them for regular use and even checking the sizing (I've never purchased a used shoe, so I'm only knowledgeable in break in periods and leather loosening a touch, which seem like they are useless considerations for used shoes). If you know of a good video on the topic, that would also be welcomed. Many thanks for your help here!

I found a way to attach a side-mounted water bottle holder to my satchel for law school. I would have preferred it to be made out of matching leather, but I haven't found person who can do it. Concept-wise, what do you think?
