Why I own this

Durability

They were torn up on the mountain and my cobber reoiled them which kinda annoyed me but they’ve been fine since. Other people had boots that were torn too shreds on that mountain and mine just looked well worn. I’ll wax them after the next hike. Brush them down after every use.

Fit

Satisfied with the Fit
No Toe Room

Ever so tight on my right toe

Craftsmanship

Sue Engles City Boot
Design

I designed them with Sue and she made them to my ideas.

Sole & heel

After the mountain needed it regluded. Thinking that I’ll switch the sole in a month or so after taking them back to Sue. They have nearly no traction left Scree y’all destroy boots

Final thoughts

Good Value
Would Recommend

I wore them 3 to 7 times a week. Aside from March where I only did one to two times a week. I’d like to say best value bespoke shoes in the world (about 500 USD) I have 3 pairs by Sue
