Horween Shell Cordovan SMUGS (Sneaker-Boot Hybrid) Combining master English shoemaking with one of the world's most prestigious leathers, the Rose Anvil x Goral Shell Cordovan SMUGS deliver unparalleled longevity and luxury. Handcrafted from premium Horween Shell Cordovan using a resoleable Blake stitch, this sneaker-boot hybrid will develop a breathtaking, mirror-like patina over decades of wear. What is Shell Cordovan? Shell Cordovan is an ultra-dense equine leather tanned by Horween in Chicago — one of the most prized leathers in footwear. Unlike cowhide, it doesn't crease: it rolls, and it polishes to a natural mirror shine that deepens for decades. It's the leather of heirloom dress shoes, here on a resoleable sneaker.
