Funky Indonesian shoe-boot hybrids rock
Use & wear
Mostly around Portland, where they saw a lot of rain. A little light wear in the mountains of east Oregon but not much as the makeup really isn’t made for winters in the mountains and I didn’t want to abuse them. They also went on some vacations and to a music festival
Leather
As with all natural veg tan it’s got some staining for sure. The color is very rich after treatment with Skidmores at the end of month 5. My three dogs could be a little hard on the leather at times, they love to STOMP my feet. But the marks brushed out pretty nicely.
Fit
I probably should have asked for an adjustment at the ball but the supple horsebutt was forgiving and they are quite comfy
Craftsmanship
Top notch
Sole & heel
Wear started really fast but steadied with time. They’ll last a little longer than I expected. Very low on grip though as the ridges smooth out pretty quickly
Final thoughts
You should all buy more boot shoes from Indonesian makers. They are so fun

Realized I probably should have added some speed hooks cause they took forever to get into everyday.
