Estoy frito con este "invierno", despues de sufrir, el otro dia en Madrid 20º en pleno Enero. Ni agua ni nieve (ausencia de borrascas) y ya estamos con sequia...

Afortunadamente.

Me ha parecido interesante probar la piel de kudu, muy alabada por su flexibilidad, alta resistencia y bajo mantenimiento, después de recibir una oferta del 53% de descuento + envío gratuito de parte de Sons of Henrey, marca belga y construcción española, de la cual no tengo experiencia directa, pero de la que he leído muy buenas referencias. Sus hormas fueron realizadas por Springline, empresa ubicada en Northampton, por lo que tienen la impronta inglesa.,

De otro nivel de precio y seguramente de calidad, con relación a las que acabo de comprar, aunque en una piel similar, en este caso, Kudu encerado.

Yo tengo unas de Alden. A ver si las muestro. El único inconveniente que tienen es que se señala mucho la doblez de la bota por culpa de la piel usada.
Creo que no estamos hablando del mismo tipo de piel:
There is a common misconception that Alden Kudu shoes are made from the animal of the same name. A kudu is a sort of African Antelope, and there are shoes made from actual kudu antelope leather. However, Alden's Kudu shoes and boots are made from cows. It is cowhide leather that Horween tans with their Kudu Chromexcel formula.
Alden Kudu shoes and boots are made with Horween Leather's Kudu Chromexcel tannage. Confusing enough? Here's what you need to know:"Alden Kudu" refers to the Kudu variety of Horween's Chromexcel leather. It has a duller appearance and a more pronounced grain character than the traditional Horween Chromexcel. Horween's Kudu Chromexcel is a hand-curried leather, which means it has been oiled by hand. This results in a very high oil content, so it needs very little regular maintenance.

De otra parte, la piel que produce la tanería inglesa Charles F.Stead proviene de una especie del antílope que se caza en Sudáfrica, como medio autorizado para controlar la sobrepoblación del animal, y que tiene características muy distintas a la anterior.
Kudu leather is the hide from an African-native species of Antelope named – you guessed it – Kudu. The Greater Kudu is a large animal with sizeable twisted horns and a grey or brown short-haired coat that features distinctive vertical white stripes. As the kudu is not currently reared or farmed, all hides come from hunted wild kudu. Kudu leather is chiefly used to make shoes, boots, jackets, and other garments, but it is also used for upholstery.
(...) Just like deer or goatskin, Kudu leather is immensely strong, and ages gracefully thanks to its malleable composition which makes for deep creasing. With enough wear, Kudu leather develops a rich, rugged patina as you add your own battle scars next to those naturally formed on the African plains.
