Used primarily as yard work shoes. I mowed grass and worked on projects around the house in them. In the last two months I wore them more out as well.
The leather patinas fantastically. It picked up every little scratch, but there was so much oil in it that they could easily be rubbed out.
These were a half size too small. My toes would be squished immediately, and after prolonged wear my toes would be very sore, specifically my pinky toes. I removed the insoles and replaced it with a Rose Anvil very thin insole.
Stitchdown construction is my favorite style of heritage boot. These are built like tanks and if they had been the right size for me I know I’d still wear them after the contest.
Wedge soles are comfortable right out of the box.
Get your correct size and these boots will last you forever.
