Alden x Ealdwine D1832HC "Phoenix 2.0" Horween Shell Cordovan on Commando Boot
The all new Phoenix Color #8 Horween Shell Cordovan now on commando sole. The Phoenix is amazing and can easily be dressed up or down.
Made on the barrie last with 360 split reverse welt, antique edge and eyelets and hooks.
Source: Horween Shell cordovan is a special type of equine leather made from the fibrous flat connective tissue (or shell) beneath the hide on the rump of a horse. Because only a small part of the animal provides this leather, it's quite rare.
Production: Shell cordovan is made through a long and labor-intensive tanning process that can take up to six months. This process, traditionally vegetable tanning, creates a very strong and supple leather.
Appearance: Shell cordovan is known for its rich, glassy finish that develops a beautiful patina over time. It has a tight grain and a waxy feel, and unlike many leathers, it won't crack or crease easily.
Uses: Shell cordovan is a premium leather primarily used in high-end footwear, particularly dress shoes, boots, and loafers. It's prized for its combination of beauty, durability, and comfort.
I recommend a half size down from true to size
