Wore them almost everyday and they were amazing in all weather conditions!

Kangatan was tough. The hide I got was not a grade but it wore in perfectly. Took scrapes well. Indigo barely was noticed. Broke in immediately. A brush and some Canadian bee seal every month before picture day.

Satisfied with the Fit

I’ve been wearing this last for years and still fits great. May have to move to an 11 at some point. Loved the unstructured toe break in.

Perfect and amazing.

Sole & heel

Traction
Durability

Exceeded my expectations. Felt great and minimal wear. I thought they would wear out quicker. Only complaint is I thought this sole configuration would be lighter. It’s similar weight to any other sole that have used.

Final thoughts

Would Recommend
Good Value

Pretty much the best boot I’ve made for myself. Looking forward to trying a similar make up without the faux moc toe.
