Why did you choose this item?
Purchased to serve as a regular wear boot for business casual office setting and day to day activities in a city environment.
How did you determine your size?
Used online guide, community advice, and consulted with customer service.
What was the ordering process?
Ordered online after speaking with customer service to answer questions.
Use & wear
Worn daily in city and suburban environments. Lots of snow, road salt, ice, and overall wet conditions. Mostly indoor office environment outside of commuting and errands.
Leather
Durable leather. Break-in was mostly quick, with a stubborn hotspot taking months. Slow patina progress. Toe is slow to collapse, wax is slow to wear away. Rolls came fairly quickly.
Fit
Fit is good. One hotspot on right foot pinky toe metatarsal was slow to break in.
Craftsmanship
Boot is well made. No apparent defects or issues.
Sole & heel
Average traction, slippery on ice as expected. Not the most comfortable for long standing periods on concrete, but good enough for the office.
