Very true. Wednesday’s post will be dedicated to the ritual of maintaining cordovan, and yes it can be a hassle. I personally find shoe care to be a calming, cathartic activity, but for those who find it tedious cordovan might not be the right choice.

I love cordovan shoes but they are high maintenance. They lose their shine very quickly and must be kept in precisely sized shoe trees as they develop deep creases over time, even if well preserved.
