Beautiful boots. Love 'em.

I've worn them nearly every day to the office. I walk around town in them, usually on hard surfaces. I travel in them (some of my patina photos were taken on a trip to Belize). I've noticed my brake pedal has worn prints in the left boot from operating the clutch. I just wear them, doing whatever I happen to be doing that day. I don't really hike or anything in these. If I'm going out in the mud, I wear something else.

The leather has darkened significantly and the color has taken on more red and yellow hues. They were almost peachy when I received them. It's been fun watching them change. I brush them often and put a little saphir renovateur on them when they look like they need it. When I do, I use it on moderation, let it dry, then brush it until the boot shines.

Fits like a dream. I have never had a pair fit better.

I have absolutely no complaints. They were beautiful boots when I got them, and even more so now.

Very comfortable. I have not needed a resole. I think I still have quite a while until I will need one. Traction is adequate for what I use these boots for. I love how leather feels. I don't think anything is quite as comfortable or looks quite as good around the office.

I'm just glad I got to experience wearing these for the dome! I've put many miles in these and they tell the story of 6 months of my life. Not insignificant! I look forward to many more miles.
