Thought some of you might like to see how the Wax Flesh Blue of my Main Guide Oxford is aging…

Guess we will see how the creases go. Just hoping it doesn't crack off like paint. Also, anyone know where to get this color Blue shoe polish???  ::)

I would recommend Saphir - sure you can get it in NYC - otherwise…

Hopefully those links work out

Experienced this on another type of shoe . . . Couldn't get a colour match and now will not wear coloured leather shoes - browns, tans, black etc are good to go

Blues, greens, reds and all that - forget it

Lando - You should email Yuketen and ask.  They seem to be pretty responsive.

Thanks for the heads up zgco!

Geo, unfortunately I am drawn to them even more so… I thank you for your opinion/ experience!

nameness, I will most likely do that at some point. Not to concerned about it ATM. Just thought everyone would be interested. Cheers

Cheers lando - as you probably know I'm a big fan of yuketen - got my guide boots a couple of years back and added to those

I'm pleased you're ok with the evo you have, but I have been a little confused at the coloured leather approach - giving leather a strong colour sometimes means adding a "top-coat" since the base leather colour will influence the tone . . . however this extra colouring is not likely to be as durable - therein lies my lack of confidence

I think as suggested - the manufacturer might be the best source of data on durability and wear - which should also confirm whether they are full pull-up chromexel, semi-aniline or whatever type that was used

Thanks Geo! Yeah I am going to contact them shortly in regards to resoling, repairs, and leather color/ etc… Good to know there are other enthusiasts here! Really love everything about this company from what I have taken in thus far! Cheers

[Geo]

Keep buying - and keep enjoying sir!
