I did everything in these boots, yard work, hiking, my profession, snow shoveling etc.
Hearty, can withstand a lot of abuse and still clean up fairly well. A bit more delicate than CXL but still robust. Patinas well, but the drum dyeing definitely takes away a bit of patina potential
The arch support is great, probably the most comfortable shoe/boot I have ever owned
Worth it! Almost flame panda level finish. Very light! Few flaws
