Horween Burned Oak Dublin
I've lovingly worn my 'bergs, at minimum, 5 days per week, 10 hours per day and they have moulded to my foot beautifully. Over the last 6 months they have become my favorite leather sock in my rotation. They were on me during the highlight of my life, the birth of my first child, although they were thoroughly cleaned and conditioned afterwards! The character these have taken on from all my day to day activities, be it nicks from cutting firewood, scratches from playing with my dog, or scrapes from working under my car, beautifully personify the daily life of my feet and how leather can exude its own personality. Just enough care and conditioning has been given to allow this personality to come to fruition, continuing to grow day after day. These will be worn hard for years to come, and based on the ridiculously hard wearing Danite soles, won't need a resole for quite some time. From the loud squeak on the right boot, to the soft squeak on the left, these boots are made for walking, and thats what they'll continue to do. -Boots
