Wore them at work for long days on concrete floors. Urban streets. When traveling (easy on and off at TSA). In and out of the office. Nights out.

Durability

It has aged and darkened slower than I thought it would. Break in was easy, as these are very sock-like. It is plenty durable and very strong considering it's light weight. I enjoy the way it creases and rolls. I did minimal care other than the occasional wipe down.

Satisfied with the Fit

The fit is excellent, and I'm very happy with the heel lock and security across the top of the foot for a slip on boot.

Craftsmanship

Briselblack The Seventh Chelsea Boot

Briselblack (formerly Benzein) is world class. The pattern, last, and finishing is second to none. This is my 3rd chelsea with them and they never disappoint.

Sole & heel

Comfort

I love the Ridgeway-like Londra sole. Excellent texture and utility while also looking low profile.

Woodsman w/ Vibram LondraWorn for 6 months, current heel

The matching heel is great. Plenty of life left, and the heel is very stylish.
