Use & wear

Leisure

Week-end wear and/or daily during holiday. Mostly urban environments. An absolute bang for your bucks on the Paris cobblestones! Great also outdoor, treading paths of the Vosges forests and medieval castle ruins

Leather

Shinki Dark Brown Oiled Horsebutt
Patina Process

Very subtle evolution, a forgiving leather not prone to easy scarring and that doesn't require too much conditioning. Will not become overly supple regardless of the amount of conditioning applied. Nice hues of lighter brown at pull up areas. Breakin instantly apart from quarters and counter still stiff after 6 months consistent wear. Care consisted of cleaning off the dirt with saddle soap and then applying Saphir oiled leather cream.

Satisfied with the Fit

Perfect. Requires comfortable woolen socks especially for the ankle area due to stiff quarters
