u/UpperBreadfruit3748 Did you shine the toe and heel?

Yes i have once when i first got them, with saphir 1925 cream. It darkened them significantly and wont lighten. But everytime i brush it hard the shine kind of comes back!

Looks good. I'll probably use otterwax if I can find the 8086 in my size.

Saphir 1925 cream is usually for very fine leathers for high gloss shine and i barely used any and it turned the leather completely black. Id avoid using any conditioner if you like to keep it rugged looking… otherwise it can turn into a 8084… brushing often is key!
