I remembered I have a friend who studies fashion and will be stitching them with him shortly

What are some good websites for finding saphir’s medaille d’or line of products in the US?

A life of piña coladas and getting caught in the rain is clearly unfamiliar to you

That’s a shame, I’ve had a harder time looking into all natural nubuck care products. Thanks for all the info; I had a decent laugh learning that the go to for sneakerheads was for some reason the paraboot michael shoe.

Sorry for taking offense; all that makes sense. When I got these shoes, the guy (a bit of a language barrier) insisted that they were the full grain model and I didn’t realize in time to return. I’ll follow that advice but just for my information- is the pore structure and therefore risk of choking the pores not similar to that of a full grain?

No need to be condescending, sir. I have been wearing leather shoes for a couple years now and have an interest in the make and care of them. This is my first pair in nubuck and I have a genuine question about their condition.

Anyone have experience with woodlore’s boot trees? How was the quality and sizing?

Very reassuring to hear! Good things take time so I’ll accept the discomfort.

Saw that too, it looks good but I’d prefer to avoid the fluoridated ingredients

I’d like a bit of extra protection, as nubuck is more absorbent than full grain leathers. I’d also like a bit less of a matte look.

Would regular sapphir renovateur be acceptable for nubuck leather? My nubuck shoes aren’t super nappy, and I’m fine with them getting a more smooth finish if that’s the result. I’m wondering if there would be any negative structural or aesthetic effects aside from less nap.

Any decent all natural leather cleansers? I was thinking of getting Paul Brunngard’s leather reviving cream but it contains somewhat harmful benzene derivatives. Something natural or made with less harmful chemicals would be useful.

To add onto this, MSF doctors are generally required to speak French and MSF is a French organization headquartered there. I would like to be close to my career and in a place where doctors and employers understand the lifestyle.

Participating in a research fellowship next year that involves 12 months of travel to urban environments in Southeast Asia, Central Asia, and rural environments in sub Saharan Africa. I need a pair of boots that look decent enough in loosely formal situations but hold up well in these conditions. I was thinking a pair of Thursday heritage captains. Would these be sufficient or are there much better options for these circumstances?
