Ordering was pretty easy

I am retired so mostly indoors and semi formal occasions.

Breakin was easy, they were comfortable from the start. Cordovan has held up well with rolls and only minor creases. Still shiny, and no maintenance so far. They have darkened somewhat, looking more muted.

Very nice fit, glad they updated my size from 9D to 9.5D.

They are very well built. Obvious care, especially the hand welted sole. Stiching all in place, and lining is good quality leather. No obvious errors, I'm quite satisfied.

Tough wearing, looks good, like a Dainite. Decent traction on concrete.

Good sole and heel, about like a Dainite.

Its a well made boot and I have since bought a 2nd pair from Blkbrd.
