Day 1 of wear. I dub these the USS Oldspeeds for the way the veg tan leather, the russet horse strip, creaks with every step like an old wooden battleship rocking in the waves. It’s silly, it made all of my coworkers laugh a little today, and I take that as a win. Hooyah. The box looks like it got dropkicked on its way to me and I somehow got a little leg press grease on my left boot today.
