XBXS George Boots

Guidi Black Horsehide

As a bootsnerd with more than 50 pairs of boots, it's not realistic for me to wear same pair every day. Also, I feel that continuously wearing the same pair has a significant impact on the lifespan of the boots due to the sweat. Therefore, I wear these XBXS boots at my own pace. In the past six months, I've worn them around 70+ times. I know that's not a lot, but it's my own pace. I wore the XBXS boots to several weddings of my friends and used a telephoto lens to capture their happy moments. During the frequent switch between standing and squatting to find the appropriate angle for taking photos, I can feel the fit and comfort of the XBXS boots. The most I walked was 20,000 steps a day, and the foot feeling was still acceptable. I personally love the wrinkles and rolls that form after wearing them multiple times, which looks very buttery. Due to my habit of applying force with my right foot and the natural characteristics of the leather, the grains and creases on my right foot are significantly more pronounced than on left. This is the unique mark that I have left on these boots, and I like it very much. In summary, these are a pair of boots that have witnessed many happy moments. Every time I wear them, I feel very solid, and their classic style can be worn in various occasions, making them versatile. I really like them and hope that with proper maintenance, I can wear them for another 20 years.
