Given the dryness do we have to worry about tearing after the shoe is made or is it just difficult to work with?
Initially there should be no problem. Other shoe brands have worked with this leather and it looks like there will not be major issues. We did realise models such as chelsea boots would be quite challenging to manufacture.
@Carmina - I've bought into the Hanger Project GMTO for the reindeer chukkas. What is the recommended care for this type of leather - will it take a hard wax (like Saphir hard wax polish)? Or is it more like a CXL that doesn't polish well and just uses a protector/conditioner? Really looking forward to the boot - from the limited images/video the leather looks gorgeous.
HP send a shoe care guide for this specific leather through their newsletter. You will find it in their Instagram account too.
Will the Kirby GMTO chukka boots come with shoe trees @Carmina ? Is it possible to add toe plates to the shoes and pay extra? I add plates to all my leather soled shoes and would need to send them off for toe plates. Seems easier just to have the factory add them during manufacturing.
Thanks in advance.
I'm not aware of their specific conditions and offer. Their customer service team will very gladly let you know about their terms and conditions. We are simply receiving an order for boots we will be manufacturing for them.
