I've worn these every day since Oct 1st. I was surprised by their durability and the fit, which keeps getting better every day. These boots saw it all - sand, sea, sawdust, snow. I travelled with them to the U.S. several times from Brazil, where I live.
The leather was better than I imagined. Tough and resistant, but also flexible and giving. There was virtually no break-in. It is a very peculiar leather, that doesn't seem to age the same as others I have used. There is a good amount of patina coming through. I enjoyed the leather, for sure.
Great fit. Flexible, but resistant. As a chelsea, they're easy to put on and take off. I added insoles as the wool inserts wore out. Wide toe box amby design. Sooooo comfy.
Amazing. Everything clicked for me. I love the design, fit and look of these. Zero problems with the construction. The stitching has held up perfectly, even with some hard use. Even the elastic webbing has kept it's form, which is often an issue for me with chelseas. A really well made boot for my lifestyle.
Soft and comfortable. Surprisingly durable. I thought that after 5 months of daily use, this softer sole would be worn down. Not the case at all.
A quarky boot that surprised me. I plan to keep it as my daily for months and years to come. Highly recommended, especially if you like a roomier, more natural toe box.
