Use & wear

Worn them most days during the dome to work and as much outside of work as I can. Desk work, walking, some hiking, seen a little bit of rain and a little bit of snow. Its been mostly dry while wearing them

Leather

The leather has held up great. The vamps are starting to show some great color variation where the shafts are still very dark almost black, which is surprising. The leather is stiffer than I expected but has softened up over the dome

Fit

Satisfied with the Fit
Too Little Volume

Theyre extremely comfortable for a long day, although I did have to take out the insole. I still wear them without the insole, and theyre great. For my next pair I would prob like them to be adjusted up just a tiny bit

Craftsmanship

Honestly I love the look of the boots. The shaft height is great, and the new buckles look fantastic. The sole and stitching are both very well done, along with the heel.

Nothing but good things to say. Didn't experience too much rain so I cant really speak to their performance in wet weather but I never slipped in them and the soles held up well

Final thoughts

Overall super happy with the boots. I wish Fortis was a more reliable maker to order from as I've heard some horror stories about wait times for MTOs. I have not personally had issues but I have either bought ready to ship boots or GMTOs from him. Craftsmanship is great, no complaints at all. Great boots
