These are surprisingly awesome, high-quality.
I thought these were kind of low quality when I first handled them. Don’t know why, just a first impression. I think because they just looked so well-made and pristine like they should belong on a mannequin or something. I’m used to tactical boots so I guess I was biased. But after a couple years of owning these, there isn’t a hint of wear on them anywhere and the leather is in perfect condition. and I’m big and heavy and wear these five days a week walking to and from my car and sometimes all day at work. Every once in a while, I touch them up with some quick touch up polish and they look like they came right out of the box brand new. Awesome quality, definitely true to size as a wide 14, the only thing I’d improve is a bit more cushion in the stock insert, but I fix that with some high-quality inserts or plain old Dr. sholls. The souls on these shoes are particularly firm and hard adding to the feeling of a lack of cushion, but they’re crazy durable because after two years there isn’t a hint of wear on the soles, whereas my bates Oxfords and tactical boots have all the asymmetric wear associated with my mechanics.
