Horween Armagnac Shell Cordovan
My Carmina Shell Jumpers played out in the Everglades. They saw patients in clinic. And they sat on my shelf for a month while I was mad at them. But most of all what they did was demonstrate their versatility. At no point in the competition did I condition with product. Just a brush for dirt. I cleaned up one with a damp brush, a tiny bit of neetsfoot cream and boom! Like new. I didnt want to take out all the patina from the other one. So I purposefully left one boot “unconditioned” at the end here to show how resilient Shell can be even after so much wear and “neglect.” Count me in for a low effort award or something… 🤣
