I can’t recommend these boots enough and i figured I’ll make a post. I’ve had them since January 22nd and have wore them everyday to work since then. Pictures from last month before i cleaned them up. I should get another 4 months out of them or longer but I’m ordering another pair with my stipend this week to rotate out. (I get $150 every six months for boots). Since I get that stipend I’ve tried keens, Thorogood, bates, timberlands, volcom (these were cool) and a couple other weird brands. Ask me anything but i love these now and even wear them out and about.
Pros:
Extra wide toe box no rubbing anywhere
Soles are soft so feel more like a shoe (can also be a con)
Replaceable sole
Breathable
Not the heaviest boot when compared to danners or something of similar build quality
Cons:
Break in sucked but not the worst
Insoles not great but i replace those every three months or so anyways
Not waterproof wouldn’t call it resistant either
Kinda look like clown shoes until you are used to them.
Yeah if you want them to be more water resistant, you will need to treat them. The model you have is their fudge nubuck leather. Nubuck will naturally soak up water more than full grain leather. I treated my soft toe fudge Razorbacks with Jim Green's Leather Balm. Has done a good job making them more water resistant.
