Ran up against the deadline and had to submit photos under an overhead while it was raining! So far worn these for 4-5 days a week and getting some interesting signs of wear. These are my first pieces of waxed flesh footwear. In high places of friction, like under the laces and inner heel, the leather is smoothing and turning dark in color. Meanwhile scuffs are showing a slightly lighter coffee color. These shoes have been mostly used in an office environment and out and about to run errands. However, I am a clumsy person so they already have quite a few scuffs. The shoes are now quite comfortable and I wouldn’t mind walking several miles in them without stop. If anyone has any advice on how I should care for them, it would be welcome. So far I’ve just just a horsehair brush to dust them off every week.
