Thought there is no real a gusseted tong, fact that almost swayed me from them i had no leaks in the boot in snow. Probably because i tie them tight or i was just lucky. Descent grip not great but enough i feel in control. Soles look great and suit the vibe great
Leather feels thin but dense. It is a calf and it is really nice. The cuts that usually go deep do just surface cuts that end up way less then on usual steerhide. Really soft and comfortable leather. Im used to harder stuff from redwing so this was something of a leap from my comfort zone and it didn’t disappoint. They feel really solid. Insole and chassis feel great. I used Redwing leather cream on them 3 times and Sapphire renovatur once. Leather has burnishing so that somewhat got scraped away with ware giving it a cool look. With conditioner it gets darker and less worn looking. Great leather, feels luxurious. I do wish i knew where it came from
I wore merino sport Falke socks. Great fit in those. There is surprisingly good toe space though the look of them looks narrow. They are quite comfortable. Arch feels supported ok. No crazy logger stuff but also the feet don’t slide down as they do in some higher heel boots. My low instem is maxing the minimum of what they can allow. Lace to toe is a great thing as i can really well adjust them and get them hod on my feet. I was not sure was i in the right position in first time i tried them but now i see it is perfect after they broke in.
Really well dome. I would say it is nicer stitching than Redvings but not so straight as Viberg. I do appreciate the contrast stitching. Really nice boots. They do feel european and i really like that. Lining did color my socks on first few wares. After it was good.
Unknown rubber but it grips well. It is nicely squishy but it seems to be long lasting. Design of half sole suits this boots perfectly. Leather part has beautiful grain and it held up great.
This year it was 2 for 2 for me. Great fitting boots that suit my style effortlessly. I wanted to get those boots for few years but i never found this color variation in my size. This year i finally did. Im glad i waited for the ones i wanted
