Mostly worn as a daily activity boot, nothing too crazy and not in extreme conditions. Lots of brushing as well. During the dome it got rained on a couple times and I think that eventually darkened them a bit but I like the gradations that came in because of the more normal wear.
Incredible leather, the tones that are coming through are simply unmatched. It continues to be a bit stiffer than I’d prefer (maybe it’s not fully broken in?) and I think this because of the way the panels are layered for a monkey boot pattern. They’ve been soaked through a couple times so I’ve done some light conditioning after they dry out with Chaimberlains, but mostly I’ve just brushed them a lot.
Generally good, could use a little more arch support for me. Maybe a tad short for the marked 43.5. I think if I ordered it again, I would go with a 44D to bring the waist in and have a little more toe room. Can only really wear with thinner socks.
The best monkey boot pattern in my opinion so no qualms on the design front. A bit of the yellow layer on the liner peeled off a little in the initial wears but it’s fine now. Otherwise one of the cleanest constructed I own. Stitching is precise, clicking is immaculate, finishing is top notching and punches well above its price especially compared to the PNW brands and JP brands.
Good grip, a little on the hard side but no real complaints.

Absolutely love this boot, stunner for sure. Would buy again 9.5/10.
