Are there leather conditioners that don't darken the leather ?

I am having a really difficult time finding the right size Strands. I wear an 11 or 10.5 in everything I own. 11: Vans, Johnston & Murphy, Florsheim. 10.5: Clarks

The first time I went into the Allen Edmonds store, the guy told me I'm a 10.5 D. Got a pair of those and they're super narrow and long.

Went in another time and the girl insisted--like crazy fucking insisted--I'm a 9.5 E. Got a pair of those and the 3 toes farthest from my big toe hit the front. Back in the store, they're being really difficult saying I need to break them in like I'm being picky or something. It would be great if I could just try a bunch of shit on without needing permission from some kind of gatekeeper but they're pushy as hell.

Can anyone help me hone in on a size so I don't have to keep sending shit back? I just want a pair of shoes, not weeks worth of trial and error.

Vans Authentics in size 11 are the perfect fucking fit--is there just a way to translate that to the size of the strand?

On a Brannock I'm in between a 10.5 and 11 B

These shoes are just so beautiful I want to base my entire style off them. I was thinking of wearing button-downs, crew neck sweaters, and black or dark blue pants with them. How old do I have to be to wear this without looking like a tryhard
