When my Java wax flashed MTO delivery was rescheduled to the last weeks of the Dome's first month, I couldn't risk the Truman's being late so I had to scramble to find a replacement pair. I was inspired by somebody successfully running a pair of GS cap toes in last year's Dome and figured as long as I was careful with my tools, all toes would survive. Since I went to school in Beloit, during which I hit up Horween multiple times, I have loved basically all their stuff but was leery of running single-layer CXL in work environments. The all vegetable tan Essex seem like it might hold up tho so I took the dive.
