I wanted a moc toe that provided a good value and that I be comfortable wearing with my current style and life.
I just followed the online guide and used a foot tracing. On first wear I thought they were a little long but once broken in I think I made the right decision.
90% of my wear is from driving, office work, and just walking around town. The other 10% included weekend activities like building mountain bike trails and walking the dog.
Super easy break in since it’s a hot stuffed leather. Not a lot of color change and quite water repellent. It’s nothing fancy but I still find myself staring at the nuances all the time.
Pretty flat sole but the EE width left me with plenty room for toe splay and comfort. I enjoyed these the most with mid weight socks.
You get what you pay for. Sure they aren’t as finely finished as others but I wasn’t expecting perfection. Some height differences on panels but overall solid.
This sole is a lot more durable than people say. Close to 10k steps everyday and the sole will be good for another 1-1.5 years at this rate. Comfy everyday sole.
If you want a good value on some moc toes and don’t want to go with the classic red wings these are hard to pass on. Lots of other leather options that anyone can find something they like.
