Horween Color 8 Shell Cordovan
I never liked color 8 shell until I found this pair from Brooklyn Clothing Company. Although the boot is a generic Viberg service boot, I still thought the color was still too bold and so I had to make adjustments to daily outfits. This revisit to my style and wardrobe patterns made me realize that the boot hobby really helped to grow my confidence as a young adult freshly out or college. I never had a go to outfit or specific style and nowadays it seems like I can out together an outfit on a whim. This "skill" probably took me about 5 years to accomplish but I'm glad that its no longer such a struggle. The thunderdome patina progression of these boots kinds reflects my own growth. The boots are refined much like my style over the years and they were worn hard without regrets like my growth in confidence.
