These are beautifully crafted with supple and durable leather. My husband looks forward to wearing them to both formal and informal events. They were worth the wait.
Porter Boot - Espresso Shell Cordovan
The Porter Boot – Our Finest Work Yet
We don’t often boast, but some achievements demand it. The Porter Boot is the most beautiful boot we've ever made.
Crafted from Horween’s Genuine Shell Cordovan—unglazed, natural, and hand-dyed in-house with specially formulated aniline dyes—each pair showcases a remarkable depth of color and rich finish. Creating the custom Espresso shade is a laborious 10-step process involving multiple dye applications, 24-hour curing periods, layers of natural waxes and proprietary creams, all culminating in a hand-burnished, mirror-like sheen.
Every detail of this quarter brogue cap-toe has been considered. From the antique brass eyelets and speed hooks to the industry-best Jaguar leather laces—water resistant and built to last—the Porter Boot is as rugged as it is refined. A leather midsole, leather storm welt, and Vibram #430 mini-lug outsole in black complete the foundation.
While its silhouette may nod to casual heritage, the Porter is elevated enough for a heavyweight wool or tweed suit and perfectly at home with tailored trousers or denim. It’s a masterclass in craftsmanship—designed to be worn, admired, and remembered.

Beautiful
Beautiful leather...
These are very nice and beautiful leather and construction. Boot fit a little strange for me ( her slip, just right at instep and tie) and hope it improves... I ordered an E ( usually wear a D) but looked at sizing instructions and previous fit. Was about 6 weeks late from delivery ( 3 months from order) but got a nice set of shoes trees as a gift when shipped. Good purchase and good value for cordovan boot and unique color and finish.

Best looking and wearing cordovan boots yet
Favorite pair of boots I’ve owned, truly great American craftsmanship and attention to detail + they’re made in a B width narrow too. I own some pairs of Alden’s - these are nicer in my opinion.

Really nice boots.
Am well-pleased with my Porter boots. The Rancourt description is spot on. Handsome boots/ first rate. Excellent piece of cordovan superbly finished in expresso. Stitching and detailing clean. Comfortable. Sizing similar to Alden or AE. Vibram sole should be durable. Multifunctional with wardrobe. Deserves your consideration if looking for cordovan boots.
