Use & wear

Outdoor Activities
Leisure

I use this boots mostly for weekends and leisure activities such as hangouts or strolling around the city.

Leather

Horween Color 8 Chromexcel
Break-In

The leather was very rigid at the initial wear. But surprisingly it's break-in process was unexpectedly easier than I thought

Fit

Ball Feels Right
Satisfied with the Fit

The fit is very common with it's perfect room toe box and especially on heels since it uses higher heel cup

Craftsmanship

Finishing

The finishing on this shoes are incredible, especially the way they finished the welt, midsole, and heels. The toe box is a little bit too bulky for me, it gives less versatility to style, since it leans on more in the casual spectrum.

Sole & heel

Durability

Vibram has unquestionable durability and traction performance. But what surprises me is it has a little bit of bounce, giving more comfort when wearing

Final thoughts

Would Recommend

If you're looking for a pair of boots that has great fit and excellent craftsmanship. This is the one. Although you might have less versatility in terms of styling since the toe box is a little bit too bulky
