"How do I get my hands on some Alden rare shell cordovan boots or shoes?" It's one of the questions we get asked the most. So Ben from @stitchdown and @tichoblancoshoes decided to crack it open, along with plenty of other listener questions you can learn a ton from.

What are the best ways to store your footwear if you don't have a ton of space? Why does roughout leather never need to be conditioned?  Who's making the best suede out there? What's the next big trend in boots???

We answer all those and more—give it a listen.
