I have worn them to work almost everyday. I work in the office and occasionally go to the field. I work for a school district so when I go out, I walk the the campus and can be anywhere from 1/4 mile to several miles.

Leather

Shinki Black Teacore Horsebutt
Break-In

I am still in the break in phase. The leather is feels really nice but the I have Horween Reverse Chamois for the tongue and the gusset has been rubbing my ankle bone a bit. Trying to to adjust my laces and condition the gusset folds to see if it soften up.

The sizing is perfect, length and width are right on.

Craftsmanship

Jakkrabbits 7-Inch Tamarin Boots

The hand stitching is quality workmanship. All around a very nice boot constructed by hand

Sole & heel

The soles are not bad, makes some noise when walking on wood/tile floors.

Not bad, I like Vibram better though

Final thoughts

The construction of the boots are amazing, the hand stitching is on point. Jakkrabbits did a great job with the sizing after providing them with my measurements.
