Started off the dome with a trip to Costa Rica, covered dozens of miles climbing mtns and volcanoes

Rain, office, hiking, climbing

It started off as a nice, shiny, smooth looking leather. By the end of the dome, the shine remains on the shaft a little bit but is completely gone from the front, back and sides of the boot. The texture feels much rougher than the smooth texture it originally had. Did not condition them once through out the entire process

Boots have become very comfortable, although it feels a little tighter in the instep than it did when new. I suspect this is because the front of the boots have collapsed and flattened out

Due to whites having a work boots background I didn't expect the boots to have perfect stitching and no imperfections. Boots definitely have some minor imperfections but they are constructed very well with no durability issues

Sole is great and perfect for hiking on slippery smooth rocks. It grips very well and is durable and doesn't wear out too quick

My experience with the boots has been amazing. I really enjoyed wearing the boots and putting the wear and tear on them that I did. I would highly recommend them to anyone who's interested in trying them out. Boots will last forever. Pics speak for themselves. 6 months of rough wear through all kinds of conditions and never conditioned once. Wiped them down with a damp cloth and brushed them before taking the final submission pictures.
