Can anyone with a pair of A1923 trainers comment on how durable the soles are? Just got a pair and trying to decide if I should protect them. I'd rather not, but if they wear down super fast like Ricks do or something, I'd consider it.

From my understanding, the cordovan-- true shell cordovan -- on those layer-0 boots (and some previous derbies) is sourced from the private reserves of guidi, which no longer produces shell cordovan.

And yes, they're exceptional. Right now layer-0 easy produces the best footwear (for this aesthetic) for the (retail and off-market) price.

For L-0 footwear there is shell cordovan & normal cordovan/horse. The box is stamped with the type of cordovan used.
