Black-Overdyed Horsebutt
Time flies, stitchdown patina dome is a testament to this saying. I've always had a soft spot for monkey boots. When Clinch released the first pictures of the Gary boots, I knew I'd have to have them. Wearing them was a blessing for my feet as they feel like a pair of sneakers. Light, flexible but looking so much better. Honesty obliges me to admit I rotated these a lot with my other boots during the patina thunder dome. I think I actually wore them about two to three months. Nevertheless I really like how they turned out. These will not end up in my closet but will see a lot more action to come. PS my definition of action is walking; a lot of it. No crazy stuff here. I hope other people will appreciate the patina that developed and see it as inspiration or even aspiration for their own pair of boots. Cheers
