Pengs boots are always monsters. They are so hefty and thick they can be tough to wear. They actually never seem to break in and my 2nd done pairs sole still gels about as inflexible as this pairs sole. They are gorgeous though and the reverse Maryam horsebutt has gloriously tanned to the same golden amber that the Maryam smooth horsebutt in my previous fp monkeys did in some 2 and I don’t know which is more beautiful.
