Color Change

I thought this horse butt leather would be stiff because it is so thick, but it turns out to be elastic but still strong. and I like the change in texture like leopard pattern

Satisfied with the Fit

no major issues with fit, initially seems tight in the instep, but that's pretty normal for a pair of engineer boots, in the end everything is comfortable

Final thoughts

Good Value

I have been following the development of Engineer boots made by Adi for a long time, I agree he is an expert in making boots without laces. These boots are really very strong engineer boots and I will continue to wear them for years to come
