Why did you choose this item?
I want to join the open dome class with domestic leather
How did you determine your size?
JanSewn Boots only makes even-sized boots, no half-sizes. So if your boots are too big, the solution is to add an insole.
What was the ordering process?
ready stock for small batch
Use & wear
These boots are used more often indoors, because for outdoor activities I wear work dome boots. Although occasionally I also wear them for outdoor activities like going for a walk or other light activities outside.
Leather
This leather looked quite raw or dry at first, so in the second month I applied a small amount of leather balm. I didn’t expect this pull-up cowhide to develop such a strong patina or contrasting color changes. I really like the rolls on the toe area, and on the upper part I got an interesting effect from the lace marks wrapping around it.
Fit
I wear size 43, it does feel a bit bigger because my feet are size 42.5
Craftsmanship
For a relatively affordable pair of boots, these are really great.
Sole & heel
This sole is quite comfortable, although the heel is a bit stiff, but I like the model and color, it matches the leather, its support each other
This heel is quite stiff, feels hard, but everything is still okay, no pain no gain
Final thoughts
I didn't expect that domestic leather made in Indonesia could be this good for patina, and its durability is also very good, even though there are some creases that are not good.
