Full Grain Leather Antiqued Grey

MaticEsq8 months ago

These are my beater boots (digging holes, pouring concrete, off-roading in mud, etc.. they get used in those types of scenarios). They only get cleaned and conditioned once (maybe twice) a year. Today was the day, and they were in rugged shape. They were cleaned and dried over night, thoroughly brushed, conditioned, a bit of tobacco brown Saphir crème surfine polish rubbed in and rested for an hour, and then brushed for ~5mins per boot. Now they’re ready for another year of abuse and neglect 🤙

These are wide for a D width and roomy in the toe box. Perfect fit for me, no toe rub, heel stays locked down after break-in. These wear like sneakers. Quite comfortable.

More about this item

I only wear these when I know I’m doing something that could tear up my shoes and, when I do, I wear them hard without a care for how beat up they may get. I clean and condition once (maybe twice) a year, and they have held up wonderfully. I’m not sure how these are constructed, but they haven’t shown any signs that the sole wants to come off and the single piece duratread sole/heal has been very hard-wearing (I think I can run these as I have been for many more years without issue). These are unlined, lightweight, have a very nice synthetic insole, and have sneaker-like comfort - I can walk, work, and stand around in them all day. They have a wide and unstructured shaft, so they’re not great for ankle stability, but that’s my only gripe. I’ve beat the living heck out of the leather uppers, but I can still get them cleaned up to look respectable enough. Not high-end boots, but a super practical, fit for their intended purpose, ol’ faithful pair.
