Mostly day to day wear in Toronto which means any combination of weather. Wore them for work and with clients. Wore them to ride bikes.
The break-in was remarkably easy. No real issues I can recall. The leather has aged extremely well and absolutely changed with time. A grey/green/brown to start has now turned into a deep brown which can still deceive depending on the light. Relatively frequent brushing and a couple of conditions.
Like a MFing glove. I suspect people would suggest they are a smidge too small but I really love they way they feel.
Absolutely too notch. Incredible attention to detail. Held up remarkably well. The leather feels so good and the boot is so sturdy.
Sole seems to have enough grip, could be a little grippier. Love the colour as it adds a nice flourish. The outside heel has worn disproportionately but that happens with all my footwear. It's worn slower than Ridgeway but faster than Danite.
These boots have been exactly what I was hoping for. I still get joy every time I put them on and telling the story about them equally intrigues and baffles non-boot people. Seeing the rolls develop has been an absolute treat.
