I’ve owned a lot of boots including Shell Cordovan and I’ve never run into a leather quite this stiff. I’ve been wearing these as much as possible including on the treadmill to really brake them in and after one month they are not fully broken in my estimation. Because of this leathers structure you will see its really starting to roll like a cordovan and tends not to crease much. The brown teacore is starting to emerge but its like you have to first break the wax layer, I think a lot of the white scuffs I have now will become the next areas where teacore will pop.
