I work in retail so I stand on my feet all day . I walk to work, walk the dog. Paved street 5 days a week Woods and coastal path on the weekends Fall/Winter is quite rainy in Brittany (all year round really but the dome doesn’t care about Spring/Summer 😬)

Care Routine
Patina Process
Break-In
Color Change

Brought a pair of already broken in boots on day 1 just in case, never had to use them Pressure above the junction of my left toes for a couple of weeks (same as every pair of shoes I’ve broken in so far) Shoe trees, brush them to keep them clean for work I knew as I was ordering them that Ember wouldn’t be the most spectacular contrasting color but the color is so good

Satisfied with the Fit

Support is incredible, I have a high arch so I pretty much don’t feel the arch support under my feet but it’s the first time I feel the inside of my arch being a bit supported. Length is fine but I feel the front of my 3rd left toe touching, I’ll consider the Thurman 55 for my next pair.

Love the design, soft toe make for a fairly slim profile. They feel indestructible

Final thoughts

Would Recommend

I’ll get a second pair in the future (and I’ll definitely try the Thurman last)
