I use the AE cordovan cream and am happy with the results.

I was very grateful that Mr Horween was willing to seek me out and offer his advice. I know cordovan can be tricky. I just think its interesting that there seems to be such varying advice. I do like the feel of them now that I've had them for nearly a year. In that time I've probably only worn them a total of 8 times.
I use it dry - just for the welting area where the leather meets the sole.
Do you apply anything on the brush, or just use it dry?
Is the consensus opinion not to do anything before first wear? I'm itching to bust out my Darltons, but polish all my leather shoes before wearing. I'm new to cordovan and recognize that a little wax polish goes a long way, but is it necessary to use any prior to wearing the first time? Thanks in advance, fellas.
No. Buff them up with a brush or a cloth before your first wear if you really want to, but they don't need polish right out of the box.
Thanks. I believe a fine horsehair brush is best? Seems like it would be too soft - when I was in the Alden store, I saw one of their salespersons buff out a scuff for a customer with a toothbrush. It was actually amazing how well it worked.
Horsehair brushes work very well. I use them religiously.
