Branded Leather Shoes

[taxico]

i enjoyed looking at all the photos of shoes! i hope more can contribute... : )

...A quick question. Does all Cordovan exhibit creases like that? I am contemplating shell cordovan for my future purchase. Appreciate any sharing.

all my shell cordo shoes crease in that same area - sort of a "rippling" effect without any wrinkling.

this thread needs more shoe pics.

let me help kick it off with 2 photos of what's covering my feet today... alden #8 shell cordovan chukka.

this pair is 9 months old, no maintenance done since day 1 except a quick brush after every 3-5 wears and shoe trees inserted most of the time.

it has been in the rain and has had ice lemon tea poured on it before... and also been bitten by a clutch pedal the first day i wore it out.

i will try to get a sunshine shot later to show a different shade.

for now... a borrowed pic of my favourite shoe out in the sun...!

Nice burgundy chukka. A quick question. Does all Cordovan exhibit creases like that? I am contemplating shell cordovan for my future purchase. Appreciate any sharing.

yeah but can septieme largeur shoes last as long as berluti?

the patina ártwork' at septieme largeur isnt as great as berluti.

i own two berluti's and the service is top notch. My insoles came off, brought it back and they change it for free. Expansion of shoes also free. no qns asked.

I guess the longetivity of a pair of shoes depends on how often you use it and how you maintain them.
No comments on the patina work for both brands but I guess they are subjective.

You pay good money for a pair of Berluti so the service provided should rightfully be a given thing.

Anyhow, I stand to be corrected since I do not own either of the mentioned brands.

P.S. If I buy a pair of Berluti, I do not expect the insole to give way so easily. It would dampen my trust in their quality control.

Nice burgundy chukka. Does all Cordovan get creases like that despite using shoe tree?

Wore before brands like Rock port, hush puppies, Clark. Still prefer rockport, comfy and yet reasonably priced.

Dun recall anyone at the gateway.

I love the bespoked shoes that are mushrooming quite everywhere nowadays. Gateway has a pretty good shop!
