I'm going to dedicate a good portion of my day tomorrow towards shoe maintenance due to having a big backlog of shoes needing it.
I'm not sure what to do with my color 8 LHS.
My concern is, in between the rolls the cordovan is feeling somewhat dry and not smooth in comparison to the rest of the shoe, for both pairs. I was thinking of getting a damp cloth and giving it a good rub (lol) in between the rolls, then hitting it with vsc all over the kind that comes with Vibergs and a good buffing. I've only conditioned them with bick after tramping around the sand in them about a year ago. So, I'm not too sure if this is a long-term repercussion.
I've searched online but man, too much contradiction in shell maintenance.
I’ve added pictures. It’s not as visible but on the touch it’s discernible. You could somewhat see the grainy texture.
