Gentlemen,
@Joenobody0
Bespoke/Custom Lasts are, by far, the most ideal. That is where I would like to eventually end up myself. If my vocation ever takes me to Italy or Hungary I will do so.
@TtownMD
That golden Vass fit is what I am hoping to do in the VERY near future. I think I may have struck gold with my recent EB MTO through Skoak. But Vass is at the very top of my list...like, if they were able to provide me with what I wanted...I would order today...
However, Alden are currently providing me with a very good fit and the aesthetic is good IMO.
Watchman1 I just got my first LWB shell cordoven, color 8. I know you have tons of she'll. what is your input for Alden leather defender using on Alden shell shoes. I guess I am asking do you take an precaution before exposing your shell shoes out to rain. I figured to

A couple of applications of AE chili edge dressing on the lighter shoe should take care of the issue.
As watchman indicates, you've got a few options. Alden leather defender works best for me. Nice price and maintains the shine. Nothing wrong with trying to keep them free of wet marks.Watchman1 I just got my first LWB shell cordoven, color 8.

Getting the light welt to match the dark welt is probably an easy fix, but going the other way is beyond anything I would be comfortable with. The shell looks great. I'd send them back to Alden and let them take care of it.

Gentlemen,
This issue of elegance and style here on the Fora seems to surface with regularity. Typically, you have 2 camps on 2 opposite sides of the spectrum. One side says that the sleek Euro lasts, with their symmetrical and clean lines are more aesthetically pleasing. And, they say this well, for very often this camp is correct. Then, diametrically opposed to them is the camp who says that their clunky and chunky, hearty Americano lasts are utilitarian and rugged and good for them. These chaps herald proper fitting shoes and boots as their motto. And, they rejoice in their position and rightly so.
If patina trumps pristine, then fit is paramount.
We must keep in mind the relative quality of elegance.
The definition of elegance is as follows:
"The quality of being graceful and stylish in appearance or manner; style..."
My assertion is this: What is elegant for one gentleman may not necessarily be elegant for another. Genuine Elegance is determined by some key principles. And, I think you men will agree.
1. Fit. An ill fitting shoe or boot is the epitome of inelegance. Nothing screams taboo more than a man in an ill fitting set of footwear. If a man is wearing the right fitting shoes, then he is FREE to be as gentlemanly as his inherent nature allows him to be. Put him in a bad fitting pair and not only is he self conscious about the fit, but he is not free to be himself.
2. Proportion. If certain patterns for shirts and suits help a man to enter into genuine elegance; then what makes us think footwear is not the same? It is the same in my mind. Men should wear shoes and boots that help them to maintain a certain level of aesthetic appeal. A short and chubby man should probably steer away from long pointy lasted shoes. Etc.
I think that we here make a tragic mistake when hue out a certain sartorial dogma and then essentially demand that everyone line up with our concepts.
Beware of sartorial legalism...
The best thing to do is meet men where they are...and then help them mature into what they ought to be...sartorially speaking...
Thanks.
Good to know so you spray on the shoe then wipe them brush & you good to go. So it protect the shoe from rain then ha? Good to know.
