Hall Madden shoe leathers are carefully sourced from different regions worldwide, and can be broken down into three main categories:

  • The most widely used shoe leather. Available in a wide variety of colors and finishes, calfskin is highly durable and makes great formal shoes, boots, and sneakers.

  • Suede is textured, supple variation of leather, created by splitting calf leather and removing the upper grain to reveal a napped, fuzzy underside. All Hall Madden sourced suede is crafted in Italy from chrome-tanned calfskin leather.

  • Vegetable-tanned horse leather from North America, exclusively tanned by hand. In line with tradition, our Cordovan leather features the underside of the hide gathered from the horse’s muscular hindquarters (its ‘shells’) resulting in a highly durable, waxy and crease-resistant leather.

Formal Calf Leather

Fine Calf

Chrome-tanned calfskin leather from the Netherlands and France. Featuring a natural, marbled look and a waxy hand, our Fine Calf’s closed-grain finish helps ensure a long lifespan. To create an antique, ‘lived-in’ look, our calfskin leather is washed and buffed by hand prior to the dying process (also done by hand), causing each piece to soak up the dye a little differently, according to its own unique organic properties.

Plain Calf

Chrome-tanned calfskin leather from Great Britain. Featuring both the hide’s original organic properties and an added element of shine, our Plain Calf’s slight variations in color are a testament to its handcrafted finish – which includes aniline dye, oils, waxes and other natural products

Polished Antique Calf

Chrome- and vegetable-tanned calfskin from Spain. Our ‘aged’ Polished calfskin has a wax finish, which allows you to brush it to restore its condition and maintain the leather’s characteristic patina.

Grain Calf

Vegetable-tanned calfskin leather from Northern Spain. While simultaneously maintaining the hide’s original creases and veins, our Grain Calf has been purposefully wrinkled by the application of intense heat and moisture.

Sneaker Calfskin

Sneaker fine calf

Vegetable-tanned calfskin leather from Italy, only available for sneakers. Featuring naturally smooth, aniline leather and crafted using a high-end finishing technique to preserve the hide’s full grain while ensuring a clean and natural look.

Perforated fine calfskin

Add a vintage twist to any style of calfskin sneakers with this perforated leather. Made from vegetable-tanned calfskin from Italy, and dyed using aniline to preserve the leather’s fine finish. A pattern of perforations adds extra texture for a unique look. Available only for sneaker lasts.

Sneaker grain calf

Chrome-tanned calfskin leather from Italy, only available for sneakers. Featuring tumbled, full-grain leather, our characteristic sneaker grain calf has both maintained its organic surface structure and been treated (‘tumbled’) with small pebbles to achieve its unique texture and extremely soft handfeel.

Classic Suede

Our classic suede finish. Featuring a unique water-resistant finish, Hall Madden suede shoes are specially crafted to withstand the wetter months of the year. Most ideal for formal styles.

Summer Suede

Featuring a supple and flexible hand, as well as a short nap made visible by gently rubbing your hand in the opposite direction of the summer suede’s natural grain. Ideal for sneakers or shoes with a more flexible sole.

Perforated Suede

Ideal for sneakers, this flexible suede complements its supple hand with a short nap that adds a touch of softness that stops just short of your usual suede. Just rub your hand against the natural grain to bring out the richness of this texture. A pattern of perforations adds an extra vintage twist.

Cordovan

Vegetable-tanned horse leather from North America, exclusively tanned by hand. In line with tradition, our Cordovan leather features the underside of the hide gathered from the horse’s muscular hindquarters (its ‘shells’) resulting in a highly durable, waxy and crease-resistant leather.
