Leather

Maryam Natural TPR Horsebutt

Very tough leather, but very low temperature with barely any break in. Patina is not great, I really beat these boots up in winter during work and leather has hardly changed.

Satisfied with the Fit

Slimmer last with not a lot of toe room. Volume is good and has nice slim waist and heel for a sturdy grip.

Craftsmanship

Blkbrd Shoemaker Custom Dixon Boot

The design is okay. Don't love the paneling on heel. Toe is too pointy for me. Durability is excellent but finishing is ok.

Sole & heel

Vibram Commando Sole6 months, current sole

Love the Commando sole, deep lugs, not too stiff and provides excellent traction.

Vibram Commando HeelWorn for 6 months, current heel

Love the Commando sole, deep lugs, not too stiff and provides excellent traction.

Final thoughts

Would not buy this boot again, the design of last and paneling is not to my liking. Leather holds of great but not much patina after 6 months.
