Very different than a cordovan shoe though so be careful. These are waxed so they are matte, and oily, not shiny.

Yeah, waxy is not really my preference but I really like the color of these. The cordovan seems fine with a suit but with jeans or khakis cordovan looks like you are wearing too executive a shoe or something.

I own a pair of the jcrew ones and they're not waxy or oily. Their copy writers do not really know any of the shoes they sell.

Interesting. If it was chromexcel I could understand since that could be described as oily and a bit waxy. I'm glad to hear these aren't waxy though. Now if only I could find a discount code (got free shipping code but that's it).

Ordered these in January, but just got another notice on delayed shipping. Went from 2/8 to 2/19 to 6/16!Originally Posted by borderline
That's terrible.
I was going to comment that a good thing about Jcrew having Aldens is we might actually be able to buy them without having to wait months (I'm currently in a holding pattern until Sept. for delivery of some Cordovan longwing #8 boots).
Looks like that's not the case!

I tried searching other sites for a non-shell ones but didn't find any so it led me to believe they're shells?

No, those are not shell cordovan. They'd be like over $600. if so.
