Care Routine

This leather had a wax coating. It’s fairly stiff & the color hasn’t changed much, if at all. I wouldn’t expect much stretching. But it’s a really beautiful leather that requires nothing more than an occasional brushing.

Satisfied with the Fit

The Moe is a fantastic last. I can wear these all day. Wide forefoot accommodates toe splay & a narrow heel locks in my foot. Toe box is perfect depth.

This is the best looking boot I own in terms of design, pattern & construction. I have not found fault of any kind.

They’ve worked out well. Good looking & functional. It doesn’t pick up debris but still offers adequate traction.
