PF Flyers Castlerock Suede
Unknown Leather
Took these on their first hike that was absolutely too much for them. They got totally soaked and very muddy. They did handle it tho.

More about this item
These were worn for a day to make sure they fit right and I didn't have any heel slip since they're my first pair of PF Flyers. This was before I knew I'd be submitting them for the Patina Thunderdome (the boots I originally had in mind fell through). I e-mailed pictures of them to Ben who approved them for the dome. The soles are a bit dirty, but that's cause they're white and it's a soft sneaker rubber. Otherwise they look immaculate. I plan on otter waxing them immediately to help deal with Louisiana weather and also assist whatever cheap suede this is in developing a rich patina.See background
Why I own this
I originally bought these because I liked how minimalist they looked, and I felt like a pair of grey sneakers went with more or less everything (which they totally do). I couldn't afford to buy the boots I really wanted to wear for the thunderdome, but I still had these lying around, which I had only worn once up to that point to make sure they fit and were comfortable. After getting approval from the folks at Stitchdown, I thought it'd be fun to wax them as well, and give me an edge with patina since they're hardly a well-known shoe or leather. I figured it was all just an economical way for me to get into the contest, learn some things, and have fun.
Ordering process
I just bought them on sale from PF Flyers' website for a steal.
