Carlos Santos Shoes - Feedback & Appreciation

[Stanacle]

I think I applied too much shoe cream in my first application after I bought my shoes. There has been visible pores at the toe area of my shoes. Applying dark color shoe cream and wax don't help much as can be seen in the picture below.

May you share your experience on how to fix it?

What cream did you use? Mind that Carlos Santos uses hand painted crust leather and using creams with solvents will remove the paint.

In our experience with Carlos Santos shoes, you may need to dye the toes down to blend the leather back in.

Saphir Médaille d'Or shoe cream

I'm afraid that's the only choice too. This is in Coimbra patina, what colour saphir teinture francaise dye do you recommend?

I think the visible pores look neat.

Probably 05 Dark Brown Teinture Francaise would be the best to use, but carefully just on the lightened areas then blended into the rest of the colour.

speaking of Galway alike, this looks good, but does CS really fit 1.5 size larger or something is odd?

Yes, their field boots on last 316 fit half a UK size big. I normally wear 8UK but wear 7.5UK in last 316. I have one pair in 8UK which I wear with thick Donegal socks.
