I'm unfortunately usually relegated to office work but I make it onto the factory floor some and spend as much time as I can on my feet
No conditioning or care needed so far just occasionally brushing off debris. Starting to see some wear and color change on some of the panels. Break in has been pretty painless so far. Initial stiffness has eased up and I've got good mobility. The set of eyelets before the first hooks needed upsized on both boots they were starting to pull out
Franks nailed the sizing as expected. A little heel slop but a thin foam insole solved that. Excellent arch support, as expected from the 55 last
Awesome construction and design, my first full custom franks. Some of the stitching is a little sloppy around the toebox/vamp but nothing to crazy. I did have one stitch pull out on the lineman patch on my left boot, looks like wear the sewing machine was stopped and restarted
Decent traction considering the lack of lugs. Sole is wearing a little faster than I'd expect and I am seeing some "chipping" at the corners of the soles
