More about this item

The leather is buttery smooth but solid, showing a lot of character within the first month of wear. The construction is next level, as expected from Frank's. The #4 toe took a bit to get used to, aesthetically, but I warmed to it. Very comfortable with the higher arch support.

Why I Own This

Custom

Style

I love the look of the taller #4 toes on flat soles, ala Farmer/Ranchers. I tried to replicate that with these, but my initial ask of a leather toe puff ended up being celastic, and they arrived the day before the late entry, so I let it ride. They ended up being that much more unique amongst my collection.

How I Sized

Brannock Measurements
Compared to Other Lasts

I have long skinny feet, which allows some room for error. I took the same size as other similar lasts that I have, worked out great.
