Horween Shell Cordovan Basic Care Guide - How to care for your shell cordovan

[@Kudusole]

Can't believe your shined it without any product but just water and a stick. I need to learn how to do this so that I can care for my shell cordovan

[@Shellvedge]

Thanks bud! Yeah it was more to demonstrate or prove that it can be done so you don’t have to add more and more product but just reignite the product that’s already on there. More often than not, when it’s hard to make the leather have a natural luster it’s because the cloudy look is built up polish or oily residue.

@@Shellvedge any tips on buying a deerbone or a stick??

Looking at Grant Stone boots for Everyday .. under harsh conditions , could you tell me what's gonna hold up better ..... the Shell Cordovan or Kangaroo . THANK YOU

[@drzaius844]

That shell upper is gorgeous, what color is that? Ravello? I follow the same routine (although I’m lazy about removing the laces), and add in Pure Polish conditioner cleaner when the shell glow fades. Nice boots, thanks for the video. Do you have a shell conditioning video as well?

[@Shellvedge]

Thank you! It’s color 4. Ravello is really only a name alden uses, but Horween calls ravello “middle borough” (just as a side note in case you ever come across that name). As far as conditioning or other shell care, check out this playlist, it has a lot of the shell care videos I have done. Thanks man! kzbin.info/aero/PLW64dEFMp8CrtvL4ejG68Nsa6UzfnMlW6

I was wondering if you've ever looked at TLB Mallorca and if so, how are the two lines in comparison to each other and is there one line you find to be better than the other?

[@Shellvedge]

I have, but never purchased any. I think the key differences are the level of finishing and bottom work. For tlb, the artista is definitely the better line

[@StephenCia]

quick question with the sole looks like dainite when you walk does it make loud tock tock noise as compared to all leather sole?

[@Shellvedge]

Hey! Nothing like that. Sounds like any other rubber sole I have.

[@msgmagicsaltofgod5303]

hey! I want to ask is the shaft of the boots is using shell cordovan #4 embossed? or horween hatch grain? thank you !

[@Shellvedge]

Hey there. Yes to both!😉. Hatch grain is just the imprinting of the texture, but without further splitting hairs It’s horween color 4 smooth and Embossed shell
