Worn for 2 months averaging 12-15 miles a day. A new job requirement for safety toe boots meant they became off work daily driver’s. It’s kind of a blessing in a way, because I have super durable, well worn boots that still look fresh, but are like an old friend.

Durability

Seriously one of the most beautiful leathers. Minimal break in, yet super durable. Care was minimal over six months, but when the time comes, rewaxing and even dyeing is on the table. Horween Tan Waxed Flesh is extremely underrated IMO.

Satisfied with the Fit

The 55 last fits my feet great. I have a high arch and instep, so it’s comfortable out of the box. Toe box is snug, but that’s why we break in our boots.
