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.
I was considering a pair of danner s but stumbled upon alden s by chance and the shells by choice.
They also have calfskin leather shoes which is another type of leather renowned for its looks and lifespan.
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.
The plaza last made the boot elegant but with the versatile commando sole.
As others have said return them.
Alden shoes quality alden use cordovan leather shells that involve a century old method of vegetable tanning and hand finishing.
They are my most comfortable pair and they are all pretty darned comfortable.
It s the perfect boot to dress up.
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.
With a price point that starts around 500 some consider alden a gateway shoe while others can spend a lifetime of shoe.
Is the indy in the shell cordovan basically the same boot and is it worth the extra money.
One of my pairs of lhs s is an unlined pair of whiskey shells sold by bb.
Thank you for a great review.
