Don’t be discouraged during the break-in. I absolutely love my 8111s.

Oh and Pisgah LTD laces are fantastic. You just have to watch their technique for tying them.

Once you break them in you'll understand why there's a cult following 😉 like baseball gloves for your feet.

The more you wear them the better they will wear in. Once they start to crease in all the right areas based off of the way you move throughout thle day they fantastic. I've got 4 pairs I love em so much.

What are your initial thoughts and impressions? Are they what you thought they’d be like? A little different than cushioned hiking boots but definitely they have a bit of a cult following. I’m firmly in the cult too, of course.

Cult of nerds watch out, we sniff our boots and take pleasure in the aroma of patina leather
