They've been worn daily since October, not overly hard but not babied, either. A great many bike miles are on them, through rain and snow, and some travel, as well.
Remarkably. These are unconditioned, brushed only occasionally, but they remain supple and healthy. Very little creasing, gorgeous depth or color -- a great leather, but very well clicked, as well.
Fantastic. Nathan did a wee little build-up on his last and it worked out fantastically. Couldn't be happier with the fit.
I'm not going to be the first person to rave about NF Bootmaker, and I won't be the last. It's exceptional. We're spoiled in the boot community by the quality of footwear available, but even with that fact, NF Bootmaker is something special. The curves are beautiful, the stitching excellent. The only small flaw for me is a small flap of leather inside that isn't totally glued down, but that's not an issue at all when the boot is on the foot, since it's held down by the foot. Really, couldn't be much more pleased.
I like it. Solid sole, good grip, kind of annoying if it gets too muddy.
Love the boots, love the Dome, just a good time all around.
