Use & wear

Outdoor Activities
Office Work

Ive worn these on some short hikes, but definitely not super heavy duty use

Leather

Guidi Navy Reverse Horsebutt
Patina Process

I thought it was chrome tanned because it's so stretchy. Patina is very nice.

Fit

79 Last: 11.5DUS Men's Brannock: 12D
Length Feels Right
Volume Feels Right
Ball Feels Right
Satisfied with the Fit

They fit like an 11.5d workboot.

Finishing

Design is good. Finishing is meh, basic. Build quality is bad. The heel should not pull away from the upper.

Sole & heel

Eugene SoleOver 2 years, current sole
Design

It's ugly for some reason compared to the similar vibram 700

Block HeelWorn for over 2 years, current heel
Durability

Bad, I don't even think they nailed it down

Final thoughts

Other

Truman switched to making fashion boots around the time these were made. It's pretty sad. All of the ones I got before these had the heels attached. There are no nails visible inside these. I can't wear them until I get them to a cobbler. Barely any wear.
