Several times a week during the whole period. Used them to work, on hikes, in the alps on ski trips, in the city, and so on. Very varied use.
Aged nicely, from a tan shade to a nice warm medium brown. Handled all scratches and beating well. Been cleaned with Tarrago WASC super cleaner and conditioned with Saphir Medaille d'Or Nappa conditioner every month. Of course always used shoe trees, since want to use them for many more years to come. Surprisingly comfortable from the get go, and after a couple of weeks breaking them in really comfy.
Great fit, very comfortable shoes. Superb arch support, nice hugging feel, lots of toe space.
Show Goto is one of the best boot makers in the world, which he shows also with these simpler Stitchdown Made to Order boots. Very clean make, excellent finishing, great clicking, etc.
Holds up well, also grip in snow
Absolute world class boots. Very tempted to go the full stretch with a hand welted fully handmade pair in the future. Pricy, yes, but so worth it.
