The hand-woven lacing up the shaft is what sold me, it gives them such a unique look. The hand-buffed leather has this worn texture that I know is only going to get better with time.

The aged walnut leather already looks like I've owned these for years, and the hand-buffed finish has this soft, worn-in feel right out of the box. The knee-high shaft stays up without slouching, which I was worried about.

The hand-woven lacing up the shaft is what sold me — it's a detail you don't see on most knee-high boots, and it makes them feel genuinely made rather than mass-produced. Three weeks in and the walnut leather is already darkening in the creases, which I actually like. Fit runs true for me.
