Horween Brown Chromexcel
The sea hates a coward. And so does Chromexcel leather. You’re not doing it any favors by shielding it from anything. If this is the leather on the boot Indiana Jones wore, then it must certainly be appropriate for these Robert boots, which look like they would be worn by somebody Han Solo owed money to. They look like boots for the bold and adventurous. The ones who dare to explore the unknown and face the challenges of life with a sense of adventure. These are for people who know how to take care of their boots and also themselves. Me? No. Like many a lover has, I’ve deceived myself about the nature of this relationship. The fact is that Chromexcel simply transforms. It’s like when a snowman puts on a magic hat. Regular use with lots of brushing will do to Chromexcel the same thing time did to Tommy Lee Jones. There’s nothing you can do to stop it. Sure. I wore these almost everyday. I told people it was to facilitate speedy identification of my body were I to perish in a boating accident. And yes, they were dampened, muddied, dented, scuffed and stomped. But it changes immediately, like a photo of a playing card the instant a rifle bullet passes through it. One day you’re wearing brand new boots and the next someone is telling you that you look like the picture your grandmother kept of her highschool sweetheart who died in the Great War.
