These boots are coming along well. 1.5 months of very regular wear and no care except some brushing. Folds and creases ok and the Waxy Commander definitely has some scuffing, but it's still in great condition. Biggest change in shape is probably the slight flattening at the toe and vamp, and slight folding of the shaft. Color is still pretty much the same with the exception of denim crocking. Need more sun exposure, which is going to be tough in The Netherlands. I'm pleased with how they've held up and how they're progressing.

US Men's Brannock: 9.5D
Leo Last: 9D
The 9D in Leo is a good fit and the ball is at the right place. I think the lasting could have been a bit tighter at the ball because I see folds developing in that area, or the last/pattern shape has more value there than I have. But overall very comfortable.
