Worn once. Plan is for office and summer wear.
The suede that they use is definitely a split suede. It's very soft and cozy immediately. No break in required like a full reverse suede or RO. The color is great
My last pair by them is a little ridiculous with the heel room and the volume. I talked with Alan before purchasing this pair and he said it wouldn't be a problem. It isn't. These fit perfectly, but my toes are scrunched a little too much. Could have used a little more length.
Everything is fantastic for the price. Hand welted with exceptional details for sub $400. Yeah, they got some welt dye on the uppers. But hand welted with exceptional details for sub $400!!!
They use a thick, but flexible sole. It's great
The heel tapers a lot, but doesn't feel skinny
Imo, the best value on the market at sub $500 right now. They have the best arch support, exceptional details, and they're really well made. Only negatives are that the style is eccentric and they never get close to the turnaround time they promise you.
