Good boots for an easy life

Mostly just wore them. I don't have a particularly rugged life so the worst they saw was sting rain and snow

It darkened is about all. Break in wasn't difficult at all, and care was just occasional brushing

Comfy last for me. A touch more pinky toe room might be useful, but the heel height works well for me so I don't need my orthotics with it

Typical Nicks. Little to complain about but they're definitely built for more rugged use

Not bad. I didn't realize it was the corded sole when I ordered it. It takes a bit to get it to flex, but it gets there. One of the plugs tore off as did a small section along the edge of one boot. Nothing major and doesn't affect them at some. Traction isn't anything special

It's a heel? Probably has another 6 months of wear.

The boots are great if you want a beefy PNW build. They're definitely overkill for my life.
