Use & wear

Office Work
Physical Work
Travel

These were my boots for daily wear. Worn with a good mix of office, shop, and travel.

Leather

Durability
Breathability
Patina Process

There was very little break in with this pair. The hide was a special from Tannery Row. When I received the pair it was clear how chock full of wax/oil the leather was. Super soft and evolved quickly with wear.

Comfort
Length Feels Right
Ball Feels Right
Satisfied with the Fit
Too Much Volume

I sized off of HTB for this pair. Length feels right and the width at the ball is good. I do have a narrow foot so people with D width feet likely should go wider.

Clicking
Stitching

I enjoy the design and craftsmanship of the boot. The stitching and finishing is tidy. The clicking is less than ideal, but that is more an issue of only having one hide to go from.

Traction
Comfort

It’s been great, durable and provided good traction even during the winter months.
