First of all the boot is gorgeous. Very comfortable to walk in out of the box due mostly to the Vibram Christy outsole. Also, the midsole is thick in the heel but tapers towards the toe. I’ve seen video reviews of an older version of this same boot with a thicker midsole throughout which seemed to make walking and other movement stiffer and less comfortable. Clearly Bordon has improved this aspect significantly. The leather is high quality. The double down stitching is flawless with obviously great care paid to any QC issue on the outside of the boot. The only issue I found was on the inside of the boot where the orange heel name plate is adhered to insole. At the most distal portion toward the midfoot, the adhesive seems to be giving way slightly allowing this thinner piece of leather to role back slightly while removing the boot. It’s a little irritating but definitely a minor flaw that can be easily remedied. Overall, great pair of durable boots that look fantastic, are high quality and are appropriate for almost any venue both outdoor and in. I plan to enjoy these boots for years to come.
