I've worn these almost every other day for the duration of the dome. Even through the worst of the winter. I didn't wear them for shoveling snow, I prefer roughout boots for that.

If you breathe on them you get patina! Amazing pull-up leather. Minimal care beyond brushing. They were comfortable from day one.

My perfect last is Grant Stone's Leo. This is similar but slightly more roomy.

Clicking

Construction is good. There's a slight rock to the boots on a flat surface, not noticeable when walking. Clicking is excellent. They look absolutely beautiful. Lining is very nice.

Sole & heel

Comfort
Traction

First time with this sole. It's a little hard at first, but I've enjoyed it. Handles bad weather, excellent traction.

Final thoughts

Would Recommend
Good Value

These boots were an eBay bargain, and I've been very impressed. Would definitely buy more from Caswell.
