How do you manage to get your trousers so dirty yet keep your boots impeccable?

'Boot Black' cordovan cream equally as good as 'Saphir' i think

Any views on neutral v pigmented cordovan cream? Dark brown would match my shoes pretty well as they're the 'cigar' colour.

Those boots had about 30min of wear on them at time of pic.
For that matter the pants came that way.

Its a very good question. I dont use any pigmented polishes on any of my shoes, whether its cordovan or calf. I'm just very cautious about not wanting to affect the original colour of the leathers, so i stick to using neutral polish only. Any views on if this a good thing or a bad thing?

I’m the same. I use neutral Saphir cordovan cream and I like the RM Williams neutral for calf.

Can someone please help me identify those boots, I've bought them second hand and would like to know more information about this pair

Nice looking boots.

I think printing on heel liner indicates they’re fairly old. Like pre 2010.

The 8-5 means size 8, fitting 5 (medium width). You could always peel off the heel liner and see what last they are as it should be printed underneath.

Those look like the style of boot that Trickers now call Lawrence.

I certainly don’t think it’s a bad thing, more likely a good thing. The only issue might be with darker colours such as Espresso or Cafe as these have a tendency to lighten in colour over time. The Trickers factory actually suggested to me that black polish should be used to maintain those dark shades.

Thank you for that. I was trying to remember the style name.

These are from 2014.

Looking good!
I used to have a pair in lollipop red, kind of regret moving them on now.
