Jack Erwin suede chelseas

I have mostly used neutral wax polish and walnut AE polish. I think I did a light brushing of brown a while ago...maybe a year or 2 but they have since been conditioned a few times. For conditioner I use Lexol or these was some cream polish my MIL bought for me I have used on other shoes but it is neutral.
I have realized on some other shoes that I do not get the edges near over lapping pieces of leather very clean/polished. On my Carmina semi-brogues, they sort of gather dust around these areas so I am not surprised it is happening a bit here as well...that and I only have 1 "brown" dauber brush.
How do you like them? I've been trying to find some decent Chelsea boots (leather, not suede) in the $200 range. I'm expecting arrival of some from Jack Erwin tomorrow.
I have two pairs from To Boot New York I got on sale from Nordstrom and the leather looks so cheap, I'm going to return them without even trying them on.
WHY ARE THE GUYS IN SUITS HERE? HAS SOMETHING GONE WRONG?
imo they are decent shoes for the money. I have had these for 3+ years now and they have held up well. Granted I'm not hard on my shoes and I rarely wear them when weather turns nasty out. The suede is comparable to that from other companies in similar price bucket (jcrew, meermin). it's short nap but has enough texture for me. I don't know if JE has certain last(s) but these were easy to break in for me and comfortable since.
The stock show's in town...
