They were used for almost everything, from rock climbing to playing in the snow. But especially for hanging out on parks and playgrounds.
Leather
Premium Waxed Leather
They were so comfortable that they didn't require any break-in period. The leather was soft and buttery on the first day. I didn't do anything regarding the care routine but I saw my daddy wipe them off a few times with a wet cloth and one time he used something called Bick 4. They are very durable, at least that was what my dad said.

Final thoughts
Would Recommend
Good Value
I see myself wearing a boot like this in the future specially because my daddy was super proud of me for completing this challenge with him. It was amazing and something unique because I did it with my daddy and I believe I just became a future boot enthusiast for the rest of my life.

Just a handful of days where I was walking through brush or snow with a heavy crust established high wear spots and then pretty casual wear walking to grab coffee or kicking my feet up softened up the pattern and smoothed out the contrast..."Read the full review
