Indeed. I must admit that I don't like all of the pictures that I see of Dandy Shoe Care's work, as some of the colours and some of the "lighter shoe with much darker toe" styles aren't my cup of tea.
However, your shoes look very nice. I think that the darker colour will be able to be worn with a larger variety of clothes compared to the original, tan colour and the new colouring looks really deep and rich.
What brand are the shoes, by the way? They remind me of Santoni, but I'm probably entirely wrong.

120 euros plush shipping. Expensive but I'll get much more wear out of them now.

I thought you couldn't 'patinate' a shell cordovan leather?
+1 on the price and on the look

Shell G&Gs - that's unusual (and impressive!). I did wonder whether they were shell as, in the "before" shot, they appeared to have ripples rather than creases.
In the "after" shot, the shoes really do look brand new, and entirely different.

Nice job, none-the-less l reckon G&G's new French antiquing service does an even better job. Thinking about getting a pair of mine done also.
Amazing they could do that wil shell. Would love to see them in a year from now.

No, they don't feel loose at all.
No I have normal ankles, it may look skinny because of the posture taking the pic.

Pictures can sometimes make the shoes look lose around the heel when in fact the situation is the opposite. How do l know? Because some of my pics look like that when the heel fit is nice and snug. It is just a trick of the eye caused through the photo. If you don't believe me, try it for yourselves at that angle and you'll see what l mean.
brown is for farmers ... ymmv

Why are you wearing moccasins with fun socks?

Looks weird. Fun socks and boat shoes are an odd mix.

Agreed. Camp mocs or boat shoes = no socks.

Fun socks are never appropriate - unless worn in bed on a cold night.

Pthh. There are o.k with casual weekend attire.
No fan of boat shoes unless you go by the seaside, but they are o.k with sox if you wear them with casual pants and don't plan to be on a boat etc IMO.

Talking about boat shoes, check this out. From AAAC of course.

Seven pair of "extreme casual" shoes, several essentially exact duplicates, and all in shoe trees, unwrinkled, and utterly pristine. My newest pair of shoes, worn three or four times, reveal that they've bent with me more.
My Comment:
Wow. Wonder who the guy is. You reckon he's married?

I would love to send a guy like that to boot camp. I'd definitely be extra hard on that guy.
