From Awkward to Staple

I started this journey with 1 goal: to get more comfortable wearing a suede (or in this case rough-out) boot as I have historically avoided them for to concerns that I would mess up the nap. Spending 6 months wearing these most of the time has helped me get over it and embrace some of the changes, and wear the damn boots. The thunderdome has at least mentally given me the opportunity, as well as the goal to see what happens. After this, the wear on these will drop some ass a start wearing my other pair of boots (as I have was to many) but they have definitely moved up in my order of favorite boots. Also to any boot makers who may be reading this and unrelated, MAKE MORE HALF SIZES. Wearing these have reminded me just how many boots I have don't fit perfectly, everything is a compromise, except for my feet in the RW No 8 last
