Adelante The Havana
Chestnut Full GrainCaught my first huge scuff the morning before Boot Camp. Figured a free shine at the Saphir booth would be better than anything I would throw at it. Lee did an excellent job!

More about this item
Round 2 with the same makeup! Last year's pair developed a squeak in the heel after 3 months. Adelante replaced them at no cost, so I saved the new pair for a second attempt at the DomeSee background
Why did you choose this item?
Originally, this was my first GYW boot purchase. I wanted something that could pull double duty in the office or casual wear. I've had trouble with fit, so the I took the opportunity for custom sizing at an entry level price. This specific pair is actually a replacement, after Adelante replaced the previous two at no charge due to some squeaky shanks.
How did you determine your size?
Did a "virtual fitting" with an Adelante rep who walked me through taking foot measurements over zoom. Originally, they recommended 8D + EE instep, but I'm happier with the E instep I landed on with this pair.
What was the ordering process?
Original pairs had some delays due to low stock of the leather color I selected. This replacement pair arrived ~ 5 weeks after the order confirmation, in line with given estimates
