Do you mean burnishing? Patina typically refers to the wear patterns that arise over time from use. In terms of burnishing, a standard approach is to darken the toe and around the bottom of the vamp. Some black polish, applied sparingly and brushed off should get you started.

They look fantastic and I would't try and improve them if they were mine!

Hi All, I am looking for sizing advice, any inputs are welcome, thanks in advance.

I want to buy Malton, last 360, but stuck between UK 7 and UK 7.5

I have already owned:

Sydney loafer, last 341, UK 7: now bespoke fit, although a little tight in ball when break in
Westbourne, last 348, UK 7: tight fit, uncomfortable, not long enough

Thank you for your advice!

I would recommend 7.5 on 360 last. I found that last to be tight in the toe box.

Hey, laufer, thanks for the quick reply. I found contradicting info online regarding last 360. For me, by looking at the picture, and my own experience trying on a US 8 Barney Malton, it's on the wider end. But, I can't be sure. I will see what other say. Thank you for your advice.

(That US 8 Barney Malton is by no means an US 8. I could go 2 to 1.5 smaller on that pair, but was out of stock.)

Does anyone size down from TTS (whatever your conversion is) on the Islay boot (365 last)?

I live about 10 minutes away from Paisley Park where Prince lived and died. Yet, I don't think I could pull off these
patinas. Esepcially the first one

Totally agree-- I'm not at all sure how those get incorporated into an outfit!

Please can anyone advise which is the wider fitting last, the 236 or 341. I am looking for a black cap toe Oxford and come down to either the Connaught (236) F width or the Radstock (341) G width. I have neither of these lasts so wonder which would give the greater width. Does anyone with a wide foot have experience of either of these please?

Yes. I generally go with the wider fit when possible, however I bought the 236 Connaught in their regular E width and the fit is really good. I like the round toe, so I've chosen it over the Radstock which is also rounded, but not as round as the 236, imo.

Hey guys,

Hate to belabor you all with another sizing question, but I was considering picking up a pair of Islay boots. For comparison, I am a 9UK in Edward Green's Dovers (E606 last) which translates to a 9.5 US. Should I go for the pair in 8.5 UK or 9 UK in the Islays?

Thanks!
