Leather

Horween Navy Olive Tan

It is beautiful, and the reason I bought them in the first place. It seems dryer than I expected but I don't have a lot of experience with vegtan. My care routine was bick 4 once before the last competition and then once at the start of this one. Has broken in well around my foot.

Fit

Unknown Last: 7D
Volume Feels Right
Ball Feels Right
Satisfied with the Fit
Toes Too Roomy

Fits well except the front of the boot, still could use about 1/2 in less room. The ball of my foot is not out of place though so not the biggest issue. I can basically splay my toes like I would be able to in a barefoot shoe. Arch support is nice. The laces keep my foot locked in even though I have to get the top almost touching.

Sole & heel

Leather Sole9 months, current sole
Traction
Durability

It is more durable then I expected. Unfortunately slippery on certain surfaces. Also allows cold to be transferred inside the boot pretty quickly.

Vibram HeelWorn for 9 months, current heel
Durability

OK traction, and worn slowly.
