Everyday wear, doing errands, going out, causal to more formal. My lifestyle does not include a lot of business casual or formal wear, so these are plenty “formal” to me when I needed to dress up slightly.

Leather

These changed very gracefully during the dome. They look almost black in most lighting, and more brownish in direct sunligt. Up close you notice a lot of detail and it is a lot more interesting than a black boot. This makes them very versatile and cover a lot of outfits for me.

Satisfied with the Fit

The adjustment Briselblack did to the last regarding lower instep and slim ankle really made a difference. The boot feels secure on foot, slight expected heel slip in the start, that slowly went away as the sole got used to my gait. The toe box however is a little tapered for me, and I get some toe rub. It might have been better to go true to size on these, rather than half down.

Would Recommend
Good Value

If you’re looking for a chelsea boot I can wholeheartedly recommend Briselblack. Tips: do not trust their size recommendations. Get your brannock confirmed and check on the discord. And make sure you swap out the stupid leather pull tab with a fabric.
