I have a funeral looming, and want to look my best. So I bought some new shoes. Samuel Windsor Cheltenham Brogue (Oxblood). My first brogues. My first oxbloods. My first Goodyear welts. My first Samuel Windsor. They are a nice fit, and they look great. Very happy.

Been a while Gents, I hope youre all doing well!! nice to be back online and fresh with new vigor! Down to business... Calling all boot specialists, I have a pair of chelsea boots that have color bled and been scratched up by the dog... now, the scratches aren't severe and I can handle those but my boots color is all messed up, I applied some boot cleaner and it may have bled some of the color.... Im letting them dry but I am worries they may not be salvaged. Is there a good place I could get recommendations on to restore my boots (ps am canadian and I dont mind shipping over-seas if need be, I cant find these exact boots anywhere and I love them)

I was scrolling through my local FB marketplace and came across an absolutely killer of a deal for these ‘never been worn’ Navy Oxfords, known as the ‘Unsneaker’ for the incredible price $40. Huge win, in my opinion, considering the retail on these.

I have been looking (thrifting) for a pair of chocolate brown suede loafers to no avail. About a week ago I found this nice pair, leather sole, barely worn, suede loafers from Samuel Windsor. They fit despite being a 10.5 while I wear an 11. I took them home and decided I would try to dye them as they were a lighter color (honey per web site). I am pleased with the end result. All in, the shoes cost $22.00 and the dye another $22. So for just shy of $45. I have the shoes I wanted. First 2 pics are before, 3rd is halfway through and 4th is the finished project.

The process consisted of multiple layers of dyes and ratios. The toes look darker in the photos than they are. The cut made it extremely challenging.
