These look so nice with a bit of conditioner. I wished they didn’t get water stains so easily. It would be a great leather if it was a bit more durable imo. Cxl does shine up nicely. Can’t wait to get my Black Cxl one I ordered. These are BIFL type of boots. During my hunt for nice looking side zip boots I have run into Attractions, RDT, Unmarked, To Boot NY, Viberg, Our Legacy, and 3/16. None of those look as good as these. At least not imo at several hundos less. I wished I could afford the Carmina version but those are too dressy for me. I will wear these for the next week to see how they patinate during that time. I’ve been wearing RO of the Elias and it honestly is fun because I don’t have to worry about stains and scuffs.

1/2 size down from brannock size. It is very supportive in the arches and the leather is snug.
