The process takes up to six months to complete but the result is a beautiful soft leather.
Alden cordovan boots review.
I have a number of alden shell cordovan designs in rotation including three pair of lhs s and none of them present a surface appearance as pictured in the op.
Is the indy in the shell cordovan basically the same boot and is it worth the extra money.
The plaza last made the boot elegant but with the versatile commando sole.
They also have calfskin leather shoes which is another type of leather renowned for its looks and lifespan.

Thank you for a great review.
I was considering a pair of danner s but stumbled upon alden s by chance and the shells by choice.
As others have said return them.
It s the perfect boot to dress up.
Unboxing a leatherfoot emporium exclusive the alden g6804hc shell cordovan short wing boot in colour 8.
Genuine shell cordovan is durable and takes a high shine making it the perfect choice when you need a boot that looks great and stands the test of time.
For me i have balance issues and fell more comfortable walking in a hiking boot.
One of my pairs of lhs s is an unlined pair of whiskey shells sold by bb.
They are my most comfortable pair and they are all pretty darned comfortable.
Alden the massachusetts company refuses to budge from its dedication to quality the best leathers including the hallowed shell cordovan bomb proof goodyear welted construction and remains hellbent on staying true to its time tested models while making just subtle tweaks in collaboration with its tight collection of retailer partners.
Alden shoes quality alden use cordovan leather shells that involve a century old method of vegetable tanning and hand finishing.
