In a pair of shoes like a Beefroll Penny or a 4-Eyelet Moc, what are your thoughts on the properties of shell cordovan vs. a leather like Horween Chromexcel? Will the fact that shell stretches less make the sizing different? Will the fact that shell is now used mainly for dressier shoes (althought I hear it began as work boot leather) make a pair of shell beefrolls look less casual than a pair of chromexcel beefrolls? Any other thoughts on shell vs. other leathers for the type of more casual footwear you guys are making?
Also, beautiful shoes you guys have going on there. Keep up the good work. And if you ever need someone to test out your shoes, I am your man.
