Hard to break in, easy to achieve patina. Maryam Horsebutt natural is fast to ages for frequent use.

I used it for office, almost everday, 4-5 days a week. I got caught in the rain so many times, maybe around 10 times since it was raining seasons in Indonesia during December-February. Everyday working days i could walk around 6000-10000 steps a day since i work as a sales and mobile. Cordmaster is a very tough boots!

If i compared each month, third months shows a significant changes on the leather. It got quite darker, more scratches and more crease on toe area. I wear the boots like 9 hours a day, 5 days a week.

Fits perfect on my feet. During the first month, it feels tough and stiff but starting to mold on my footshape on the third month. The toe area stretches following the shape of my toe.

Sagara is perfect! You can see it on the stitching, handwelted, how precise every stitches and even the outsole is precisely stitched. It is quite water-resistant during the rainy season, since it is using Braided Norwegian Storm-Welt.

Very stiff but ruggedly perfect, handles hot Indonesian streets very good.

You can see it on the back picture that it tear quite a bit due to frequent used. It shows characted and how tough the heel is.

Cordmaster shorty is highly recommend for mid height rugged boots. Will be tough to break, but very comfortable and satisfiying once it molds to your feet.
