Use & wear

Outdoor Activities

I wear these boots outdoors because I work in the delivery department riding a motorbike. In Indonesia the weather is unpredictable, sometimes the sun is hot, sometimes it suddenly rains, engineer boots are the most suitable

Leather

Toscanello Waxed Horsebutt Maryam Tannery
Break-In
Patina Process

This leather is very thick, has character and looks elegant, I'm curious how the leather ages like a cigar color. the breaking in process is not that painful, I enjoy it, although in the morning I need a tool to put it on, like a shoehorn or a plastic bag

Fit

Toes Too Roomy

yes there is room in the toe section because it is round, for the size there is no problem at all, all is well

Construction

I like this design, it's different from the previous one, it has a very simple flat welt construction, and I'm sure the durability is very good.

woodsman is a heel that is suitable for boots over 8 inches. it is very sexy and suitable for riding, and safe for walking stairs

Final thoughts

Good Value
Would Recommend

Engineer boots are my favorite, simple, safe and manly Adi as the owner of Brisel Black is very skilled at making boots without laces.

I think these boots have matured in terms of patina, comfort. flexible, but strong enough
