My first TD, with the third pair of jumpers I made.

Daily activities, mostly work for eight hours a day in shoe retail, riding my bike everywhere I need to go and the on or another walk into the city just to flex them because they are awesome.

The break in IS rough with this leather, but after some places hurt on my feet I can wear them without any consideration for my health. The first part of patina was done by light rainshowers that gave it a sprinkle pattern, but at some point I had to wax them a bit. The leather is basically crust and that is how I pushed them onto the streets Care was simple neutral shoe cream. Not too much, sparingly as not to turn it into a fatty leather.

The configuration doesn't give a lot of comfort the way I made them, but the inlay provides lots of cushioning. The soles are made for a sleek look. You only see a leather sole, with some rubber studs hidden beneath it like you'd expect from a commando. Heels are vibram tank soles.

I definitely had a blast going on about my first TD, and having the boots standing on the shelf for half a year wasn't nice.
