Now they arrived. The friendly one of UPS brought it
I had not thought, which is so soft the leather. What for material is that? Does that know someone? And how can one keep that clean?

I think they're made of nubuck - and you definitely want to give them a few coatings before wearing them. I haven't had to clean mine yet, but I have a feeling it's gonna be a b*tch...

Just the usual 'waterproofing' stuff that should make it easier to clean the shoes. The brand I use is called 'Kiwi', but I'm not sure if it's only a Danish brand.

Yep, the navy blue ones. Size UK 10,5 is exactly correct for me.

You should definitely use it. I usually buy 3-5 cans of it when it's on sale, you can never have too much of that stuff.

@MrShoeShotta: If you can procure navy the blue ones, pls ask in a UK 10,5. UK 10 is too small. My Legacy's are UK 10 and they really hurt.
