Premium horse leather with rarity value for exceptional footwear

Cordovan shoes by Heinrich Dinkelacker are masterpieces made of horse leather. The rare natural product, also known as "Shell Cordovan" - boasts qualities that are perfect for elegant and sturdy shoes. The elaborately obtained and processed horse leather is extremely resistant after at least six months in the tannery and also has a high fat content, making the shoes highly water-repellent. Shoes made of horse leather are therefore ideal for outdoor shoes and boots. An enormous depth of color and intense shine give the shoes their incomparable character. Because horse leather is a rarity, the noble material is only used by some of the best shoemakers in Europe. In the workshops of Heinrich Dinkelacker, men's shoes of the highest class are created.

The term Cordovan is derived from the Spanish city of Cordoba. This is where the special processing of horse hides in tanneries was first practiced. Today, Cordovan leather has its focus in the United States.

Care and Character Development

Cordovan shoes for men not only impress with their first-class quality and elegant appearance, but also with their excellent fit. The hand-sewn construction ensures that the high-quality shoes adapt perfectly to the shape of your feet and provide you with unparalleled comfort. A sturdy shaft and precise stitching also guarantee high stability and durability. These handmade shoes have the advantage of being easily repairable, whether it's the leather sole or the leather lining.

To ensure that your leather shoes and leather boots made of Cordovan maintain their shine and elegance for many years and gain character, regular shoe care is a worthwhile routine. By regularly polishing with suitable shoe cream and occasionally applying oil, you can significantly extend the lifespan of the leather with its natural fat content. A soft cloth and special brushes should not be missing in the care process to gently clean the surface and make the shoe shine like new. Wooden shoe trees help maintain the shape and structure of the shoe and prevent creasing.
