  1. They are MTO, made tor the shop in question, but they would have ordered in bulk so as to have a number of pairs in stock.

    Very, very handsome boots - could you please share more pics?

    Seconded! We need glossy, close-up photos!

    The Bureau do a great job with their Tricker's.

    Yes, I had assumed a leadtime but stock availability aside they will also be benefiting from volume procurement. I will see what I can muster over the weekend, my photography will more than likely let the side down.

    I may also be able to post pics of my Malton on return from The Shoe Healer.

  2. Sturdy-looking boots there, davichan!

    Question for the shoe care experts amongst us: cleaned up the newly-arrived Coniston (and I can see why now those who own it rate the boot so highly, truly a thing of beauty), but there seems to be some kind of residue in the grain on the body of the boot. I've cleaned the boots with saddle soap, and added a touch of cream and polish but residue is still there.

    Any ideas on how to clear it off the leather, or is this normal with country grain?

    Also, when bulling the toecaps I noticed this mark came up after a while:

    It was a lot whiter at first, but I left some polish on overnight and buffed it gently this morning and it looks a lot more subtle.

    Again, any ideas on what it is and how to remedy, if possible?

    Nice boots! It is not so clear what the residue is like due to the light and reflections. I have some new zug grain boots that have a residue almost like a powder or dried soap mark.

    How did you get rid?

  3. a pair of the japan joints. about a year of wear two washes.

    Any more pairs showing a good amount of wear? Post them up. I am trying to give faith to a mate so he will soldier on with his pair.
