**The Official Shoe Care Thread: Tutorials, Photos, etc.**
I recently bought a pair of Ecco chukkas for travel shoes - easy to slip on and off at airport, comfortable for being on my feet, all the usual reasons. I have 2 questions: 1. Do I use shoe trees on chukkas? 2. What do you recommend for shoe care on a distressed/ relaxed leather? I was...- Noo Guy

**The Official Shoe Care Thread: Tutorials, Photos, etc.**
I seem to be continually beating the proverbial dead horse about this basic concept, so forgive me as I ask for some basic help/ product recommendations... I have read well over 200 pages of this thread, but I apologize if this sort of thing has been covered elsewhere. I have two pairs of AE...- Noo Guy

Thank you very much for the advice regarding the water marks. I was concerned that the leather may be overly porous due to becoming dried out... I just wasn't sure. As far as my gaffe regarding searching for AE carnauba polish... I will swear on a stack of whatever that I was on the website...- Noo Guy

I have been working with AE cream, and have been able to get a pretty good matte shine on my used AEs. I am thinking of adding a wax polish to the cream for two reasons: 1. obviously, a higher gloss sheen. I think I am ready to try it out. 2. I have been troubled to see that rain seems to...- Noo Guy

The official thrift/discount store bragging thread
I have been slowly formulating a plan after reading hundreds of pages in this thread - that perhaps I, too, (a new thrifter and clothes hound) can find clothes in my size, and keep them --- and pay for them selling my finds in other sizes. I talked to the wife about it, and she thought my new...- Noo Guy

How to separate good from great dry cleaners?
First, stu's post is amazing. Thanks. I have been trying different cleaners for shirts, and have been interviewing them a little to make a decision. One question I go back to: what temperature is the water that you use to wash shirts? This is because I am a very tall man, and routinely have...- Noo Guy

I appreciate the specific recommendation regarding the Otter Wax. My marine corp drill sergeant grandfather taught my how to originally shine my shoes, and I still use the kit that my grand-uncle used in the streets of NYC when the family immigrated... Since shining my shoes reminds me of family...- Noo Guy

I bowed out of the discussion after a small fracas developed on the board, but I wanted to let everyone know that I had gone through several applications of corn starch to draw out the oil from the leather, and I had then decided to take the shoes directly to my local cobbler first thing in the...- Noo Guy

I could really use some help if anyone is online... I just had a drop of olive oil hit my AEs an hour ago, and I am looking for advice on how to remove the stain. I have AE polish, saddle soap and Venetian Shoe Cream here at home, if that helps. (sigh)- Noo Guy

So would you use Venetian Shoe Cream or Renovateur to clean? Sorry to keep repeating myself - the new plethora of products to use have me a bit stymied. *** Edit - I missed your post on the last page about cleaner/ conditioner - mea cupla *** On the plus side, I just bought my second pair of...- Noo Guy

I am sorry if my question has already been asked. I've read the entire shoecare supply checklist thread, and at least 25 pages of this one... I tried to find my answer prior to asking. 1. How often do you recommend stripping wax? Is there anything recommended besides Renomat? 2. How often should...- Noo Guy
