I didn’t hold back on these. Took them hiking, played over 30 rounds of disc golf, daily office wear, went on travel trips in America and Europe. Wet, dry, and snowy conditions.
Not too much break in on this pair. Cxl is forgiving and were very comfortable a couple weeks in. It is just a fantastic leather that allowed me to not be worried at all about it. They’ve developed that really rich honey amber color over time. I conditioned the toes and heels with cobblers choice about half way through because they were drying out due to the wet conditions. Then a final bit a VSC at the end.
The Leo last is not the best for my foot shape. I might need to try the 11.5E in the future. I also found that the Leo last has little to no arch support so until these broke in a bit more, my feet were sore.
Excellent all around. GS is fantastic.
Great for everything but the sloppiest. I really like how it is grippier and softer than dainite soles. Does seem to wear faster, but that is the trade off.
Just a fantastic daily driver that I think everyone should have. The leather only keeps getting better and better. Would recommend and have recommended several times.
