What I will say is , it’s matte but with a very soft sheen. Lovely leather for the winter. Bullet proof.- zag73

It’s matte oiled leather. Won’t take a shine. Don’t use standard cream or wax on it. Saphir have oiled cream.- zag73

I had to sell my Chelsea boots for this exact reason. I also find that the lace holes on high boots get closer the further up the shaft they are. Not had this with other makers.- zag73

Rain on the left and 348 on the right. Ignore the advice on Simpson. I wear both rain and 348 in the same sizie. The Simpson last in the same size , I can’t get my foot in the shoe.The rain and 348 are almost identical apart from the slightly higher instep on the rain. If you want measurements...- zag73

I’ve found the width of the 348 and rain pretty much the same. Agree on your point about rain being less pointy than 348.- zag73

Most of my c&j are 348. The rain last is the closest to this last. I take fhe sane size in both. 360 is similar to sineu. Agajn same size in both. I will say , the Carmina’s have a slightly higher instep , which works for me very well.- zag73
