Rotcivtolip...recommend RMW Craftsman...they have a synthetic sole and have lasted well in PNG in all the gravel strips, lotsa water ...pubs and clubs etc about $330 AUD I think. Had current pair for four years and will need resole in about another year.
Compare this with shoes off the rack for about $100 $130 and lasting 12-18 months and their miles in front.
Agree with whoever advised to go with slightly larger size and wear thick socks.
Use RMW polish only, avoid the silicone type touch up polish found in hotels...no need for neatsfoot oil or anything like that... just use the RMW polish...seems to keep the leather in top condition.
