Travel

These are my go-to black casual boots - they are almost in their element at work, roaming around the city, relaxing in restaurants, and going to concerts/events

Leather

Guidi Black Horsebutt
Patina Process

Rolls for days. The break-in was pretty quick as this leather is very pliable.

Fit

A012 Pioneer Last: 10.5US Men's Brannock: 11.5C

This is a roomy last for my narrow foot, but the shape of it allows it to stay on well enough.

Design
Clicking
Stitching
Finishing

In my opinion the design is absolutely amazing, probably my second favourite engineer last/pattern behind the Clinch classic. I really like the huge vamp pieces. The last is sort of weird looking when it’s new, but it’s made to collapse, and when it does beautiful things happen. The clicking on this pair is great. The stitching could probably be a touch cleaner, but I am knit picking at this point.

Sole & heel

Durability
Comfort

Pretty standard sole - hard wearing, kind of stiff.
