Care Routine
Patina Process
Break-In
Color Change

Initially very stiff. Stoll pretty stiff but has really molded to my feet and moves with me now. I used VSC about once a month and brush at least twice a week. The color has changed from a light green to a darker green with lots of brown and tan tones

Satisfied with the Fit

These shoes fit my feet perfectly with great arch support for my particular feet. I can wear these on concrete for 16 hours with little issue.

Finishing
Clicking
Stitching

Despite being Free Range and supposedly made from stretch marked and less desirable leather, I believe these are great cuts. Everything about the finish and constriction seems top notch.

Good traction and comfort. I think I am wearing these hard since it has smoothed out completely in areas.
