Hotstuffed with waxes and oils and heavy on pull-up (the temporary displacement of pigmented waxes and oils), Chromexcel needs little care.&#xA0;</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><br></p><ol><li dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Inter; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">First, use a damp microfiber cloth (or an old 100% cotton t-shirt) to remove dust, dirt, gunk, or other debris from the upper leather. Remember to clean the welts; a damp Q-tip can remove stuck-on grime on the welts. After letting the leather dry, apply a neutral conditioner, e.g., Venetian Leather Balm, Saphir Renovateur, or Bick4. Second, apply an even layer over the uppers using a new microfiber cloth or an old t-shirt. Give each boot a good few minutes to let the conditioner soak in before you start vigorously brushing the leather for two to three minutes per shoe.&#xA0;</span><span style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Inter; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you accidentally scratch or scuff the uppers, you can easily blend the imperfection back into the rest of the leather through some simple elbow grease. Because the leather is treated heavily with pigmented waxes and oils, you can use your thumb to rub the scuff, thus redistributing the waxes and oils and blending the scratch back into the rest of the leather. <img src="https://attachments.gorgias.help/kronr/hc/bqmx/20210220-1f7a6396-edit%20(wyatt%20gilmore&apos;s%20conflicted%20copy%202022-01-17)-c31ea9d9-b27c-41b1-b886-9c79c5875486.jpg" style="width: 300px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"></span></li><li dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Inter;">We inspect every pair numerous times before shipping. When clicking the leather, we carefully plan and map out the hide to give us matching pairs. Heavier creasing can be expected on these large bovine hides. We have written an article and have included a couple more from Horween regarding some of the attractions, acceptability, and characteristics of Chromexcel. <br><br><a href="https://www.grantstoneshoes.com/blogs/journal/the-attraction-to-horween-chromexcel" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Grant Stone&apos;s Attraction to Chromexcel</a><br><a href="https://www.horween.com/blog/2010/03/23/chromexcel%C2%AE-2" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">History of Chromexcel</a><br><a href="https://www.horween.com/blog/2016/6/27/on-leather-quality-and-properties" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Quality and Properties</a></span><br><br><span style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Inter;">We do our best to cut away from the belly of the hide and use the shoulders of the hide for our vamp patterns. This helps cut down on the loose grain, but the hides are large.

While our footwear is not waterproof, they can take on water without damage. If the footwear gets wet, we suggest letting them dry out naturally overnight before wearing them again. Rotating your footwear helps elongate its lifespan. Using a pair of shoe trees is always helpful, and you can use a fan but don&apos;t use a heater; it can damage the footwear altogether.&#xA0;</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><br></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><br></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><br></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Inter; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">You&apos;ll want to monitor the salt because salt hurts the leather.</span><span style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Inter; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">&#xA0;If your footwear is exposed to salt, you&apos;ll want to take a moment to grab a damp rag to wipe down the exposed areas before eventually letting the footwear dry before wearing it again.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><br></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Inter; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">For more information about Chromexcel and how to care for it, please see this article from&#xA0;</span><span style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Inter; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Stridewise&apos;s&#xA0;</span><span style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Inter;"><a href="https://stridewise.com/chromexcel-leather-care/" style="text-decoration:none;"><span style="color: rgb(74, 110, 224); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Complete Guide to Chromexcel</span></a></span><span style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Inter; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">.</span></p><style type="text/css" id="isPasted">

Because of this, you will want to be careful with what product you use to condition the leather. We recommend starting on the tongue or the heel using a neutral conditioner, i.e., Venetian Leather Balm or Saphir Renovateur. These neutral conditioners will not darken the leather; however, the leather may appear darker after the application but will dry out to the original color. You will quickly notice that your vegetable-tanned leather boots will patina no matter what when exposed to the elements. Indeed, both sunlight and water will darken the leather. This leather will change color over time; there is no way to stop this.&#xA0;</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-family: Inter;"><br></span></p><p dir="ltr" id="isPasted" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Inter; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">You can use a damp microfiber cloth (or an old 100% cotton t-shirt) to remove dust, dirt, gunk, or other debris from the upper leather.

Stead Tannery. The tannage is called Waxy or Waxed Commander. The best way to care for these styles is by adding a pair of shoe trees and using a brush with firm bristles to help keep dust particles off and even out the scuffs. Since the leather surface has a matte finish, it holds this look even after heavy wear. As a result, scuffs and dings tend to look more natural. The tannery recommends applying a WP beeswax/dubbin to restore it if it seems dry over time. From our own experience, we&apos;ve used Neutral Venetian and seen great results. We suggest starting with a small amount on the tongue or the heel and working up from there. It can be easily hidden if you do not like the look.&#xA0;</span></p></div></div>

Indeed, the leather is similar to C.F.Stead&apos;s Waxed Commander tannage; however, the wax content is much lower for the Dark Oak Roughout but has a much higher oil content than the Waxed Commander. This is an excellent leather for those who want minimal routine care.&#xA0;</span></p></div></div>

To care for your shell cordovan, we recommend investing in a high-quality conditioner designed explicitly for shell cordovan, e.g., Saphir Cordovan Creme, and a horsehair brush. Both of these are essential for proper shell care. Conditioners such as Venetian Leather Balm will also work. We recommend sticking to non-pigmented, neutral conditioners.</span></p><ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;padding-inline-start:48px;"><li dir="ltr" style="list-style-type: disc; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Inter; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Clean with a damp, nonabrasive cloth to remove dust and grime.

Shell Cordovan

<p><a href="https://www.grantstoneshoes.com/collections/accessories/products/deer-polishing-bone"><span style="font-family: Inter; font-size: 14px;">This particular deer bone</span></a><span style="font-family: Inter; font-size: 14px;">&#xA0;is sourced from Abbeyhorn, located in Holme, UK. The current managing director recalls seeing the deer bone over 40 years ago when he first started as an apprentice. They used the bone to polish shoes after applying wax. This method was also utilized by army soldiers to polish their boots.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Inter; font-size: 14px;">Today, the deer bone might be more commonly known for its effect on shell cordovan, but we have found similar satisfactory results on a variety of leathers. The key is to make sure the bone can push across the upper without resistance, using a cream or polish to aid the process.&#xA0;</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Inter; font-size: 14px;">The first step is to insert shoe trees. This is necessary as you will apply pressure on the deer bone and the upper needs to be supported.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Inter; font-size: 14px;">The next step is to prepare the surface of the leather. In these photos, we are applying neutral Venetian Balm to make sure the leather is hydrated and slick. We have found Venetian works well in this process as it won&#x2019;t make the leather tacky. Also, this derby is in Horween&#x2019;s Chromexcel leather. Venetian products are used and suggested by the Horween tannery themselves so it&#x2019;s an easy choice when working on their leathers.</span></p><p id="isPasted"><span style="font-family: Inter; font-size: 14px;">The amount of cream needed is subjective and dependent on the leather tannage, color and type of product being used. In general, conditioners and creams are meant to nourish the leather, while wax polishes are used to create a shine. Since this shoe is a more casual style in Chromexcel leather, we find that a slight sheen is sufficient and save the wax polish for the dress oxfords.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Inter; font-size: 14px;">With the deer bone in hand, you apply pressure to the upper, pushing back and forth quickly. We prefer to work toe to heel due to the deer bone shape.<br><br>In most cases you will be targeting vamp creases and marks around the toe area. With a plain toe pattern, this is much easier since you won&#x2019;t need to navigate around stitching, pinking or perforations. In those trickier scenarios, using the back of a spoon is a great way to reach tighter areas, applying pressure to smooth the surface.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Inter; font-size: 14px;">With practice, you will find that the leather reacts well to greater amounts of pressure from the deer bone but, like anything else, it will take time to have a feel for this.</span></p><p id="isPasted"><span style="font-family: Inter; font-size: 14px;">Most of the casual leathers are thicker and softer, which allows them to dent easier than the likes of a calf leather. The character is what makes the articles special but smoothing out these indentations makes the shoe look clean and rejuvenated.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Inter; font-size: 14px;">Once we are happy with the leather surface, we use a horsehair brush to buff the upper. This final step helps disperse any excess cream and creates an even sheen. This step is important but frequently overlooked. You will notice with time your brush will accumulate wax in the bristles, which helps shine the leather even when quickly buffing a pair before walking out the door.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Inter; font-size: 14px;">With this method, the deer bone produces a glowing, even appearance that is satisfying to master. Give it a try! We have a feeling this addicting tool will ultimately become a staple in your shoe care kit.<br></span></p><p><br></p>
