Cordobes Stitchdown Full Grain Honey Leather Service Boots Sz 11
Please read carefully:
- As a small seller doing this on the side, all sales are final. I DO NOT offer returns, refunds, or exchanges for sizing, so please ensure you know your size before purchasing.
- I try my best to describe the shoes accurately and to take pictures from every angle. Please review pictures carefully.
Condition:
- Worn gently less than 10x. Shows some minor creasing in the toe box, and some signs of wear on the heels and outsoles.
- Boots were sent to me and the owner of Cordobes acknowledged that the heel stitch running along the inside of the boot was done incorrectly, thus causing raised stitches that would rub into my heel and achilles (owner was great, and has made me a replacement pair). So for this pair, I took it to my local cobbler and he added a thin vegetable tanned inner heel counter that covered the inner stitch, thus removing the rubbing problem (see last picture of the inside of boot). My local cobbler did an "acceptable" job - the stitching could be cleaner, and the cutting of the internal heel counter could have been more precise. However, it's in the inside and can't be seen, and it does the job it was intended to (no more stitch rubbing inside).
- I added a metal heel tap onto both heels at the same time to prolong the duration and wear for the boots.
- I will include the leather kilties pictured on the boots.
- Please review detailed pictures for any natural irregularities in the leather uppers and to see the defects mentioned above.
Description:
- Cordobes is an up and coming brand, the owner is passionate about his work, and you can see the quality and durability of their work. This is a great opportunity to get a pair of his boots at a huge discount because of this issue that was already resolved by my local cobbler.
- These boots were over $350 and use a beautiful and thick combination tanned (chrome and oil tanned) full grain leather. The natural honey color will age and patina beautifully with time and was sourced from Mendele's leather tannery. This is a beautifully supple yet hardy leather coming in at 2.8 to 3mm thick.
- These are handmade and stitched using 270 degree stitchdown construction for strength, durability, and longevity. These boots are literally hand stitched.
- Local outsoles for made of recycled rubber for comfort and durability.
- Sizing recommendation: These are a size 11 and in my opinion fit true to size. I'm a Brannock 11D/E and wear 10.5 in Grant Stone Leo Last (I can also fit 10E in Leo last), 10.5 in Parkhurst, 10 in White's MP last, 10 in Red Wing last 8, 10.5 in Truman 79 last, 11 in Oak Street Bootmakers Elston last, and 10 in Viberg 2030. These in a size 11 fit similarly to all the other brands I just listed in those sizes.
