One month in, initial impressions

Mostly just wandering around town. It's been very hot.

Break in took a bit longer than I wanted, but they're softening up now. Rolls are coming in on the vamp and shaft. No grain break to speak of on the vamp, just roll city. Black overdye is wearing off in ways I definitely didn't expect.

Required some orthotic insoles to fill up volume, but they feel great now. Perfect width, maybe a hair long but if I'd gone down half a size they would have been too narrow.

Clicking is flawless. Vamp in particular is immaculate, no grain, only rolls. Construction/stitching/finishing all on point. No structural or cosmetic issues that I could find.

My go to sole out here in the almost desert. I've put some miles on these and they barely look used.

These have been great for me after I got some insoles in there, would recommend if you can find them at a reasonable price (or don't have tariffs to contend with)
