Dear satorial colleagues,

I was in Paris last weekend and find the Partina Art of Septieme Largeur, Atlan Bottier and Corthay stunning. Hence I am interested in their shoes after testing which of their lasts fit me best. The price range from 345-450€ (Septieme Largeur), 650-800€ (Atlan Bottier, GYW Shoes) and 1500€+ (Corthay) is large. Nonetheless, the question comes up how does the Partina Art reacto to rain, dust, dirt and if ith thus changes over time, if it becomes a solid colour if one uses colored shoe cream and way, etc..

Question: Do you wear Partina Art shoes of e.g. Septieme Largeur, Atlan Bottier or Corthay, or any other shoe boutique and in which way do you take care and maintaine it?

Best regards, and greetings from Frankfurt

Pascal

Not that complicated.
Bick4 will condition the leather, and in my experience, highlight the patina.
I use this the majority of the time.
I will periodically use a mix of Saphir cream to add some pigment/wax.

Thanks notdos,

do you also use neutral shoecream and wax?

Best regards

Pascal
I have used that combination, but have found my menu works best. I do occasionally use the glacage on the toe/heel for high gloss. Only after my normal routine.

Thanks notdos,

so it is not more difficult than the maintenance and cleaning routine for single-colored leather shoes. I appreciate that.

Best regards

Pascal
