Use & wear

Office Work

Cold Temperatures
Wet Conditions

I’ve used these nearly every other day, walking to class through deep puddles and a marshy field, and my feet have stayed dry.

Leather

Color Change

I got these as factory seconds from the lack of wax in the leather. I applied Otterwax to these, and they’veen fantastic as the wax settles and wears away.

Satisfied with the Fit

The fit on these is great. I find the narrow heel and wider ball area on the 618 last more fitting for my toes to spread out, but the volume on the 602M last is better in these.

Craftsmanship

Design
Durability

Lovely design on these, the proportions are perfect for a heritage style service boot, and these brogue toe gives just a touch of class while the rest of the design is still rugged.

Traction
Comfort

Good traction, comfortable, although slightly hard compound.

Final thoughts

Good Value
Would Recommend

My grandma loves these boots. Having got these as factory seconds I believe this to be the best value pair of boots I own.
