Use & wear

Office Work
Leisure

Wore them to/from work and whatever else I’d be doing through the day.

Leather

Care Routine

Wore them without any difficulty or discomfort ever. I brushed them often and did some of the beeswax stuff once after a couple months. Cleaned them and put Saphir Renovateur for the last photos. Got a drop of something at work (maybe an acid we work with) on the right toe probably a month into it. It kind of looks darker there. The leather has otherwise held up no problem

Satisfied with the Fit

Wish I could do a custom last/fit more often. My feet are very “fat” and usually need more break in with regular/stock sizes. These fit great right from the start

Craftsmanship

Durability

All has met or exceeded my expectations. I can tell they’ll last a good long time and are very well made

Sole & heel

Durability

They have held up as expected. I like the subdued green and adds a little flair to the look

Final thoughts

Would Recommend

I ordered these right before their lead times became a lot longer. Watching the months click by, I felt regret and disappointment. Mostly just wished to cancel the order if I could. Now, almost 3 years later it’s hopefully nice for people to see the “finished product”. This leather ages like a baked potato turning golden brown. I hope I can give it more time and abuse to see where it goes. Hope you all enjoy another one in many of these photographic boot journeys
