BAIO

The mid-calf height is exactly what I wanted for tucking into jeans, and the bark calf leather has a rich, broken-in look right out of the box. Those side loops make them surprisingly easy to pull on, and the Western stitching up the shaft is a nice detail without being too loud.

The bark calf leather has this rich, slightly weathered look that I wasn't expecting from photos, and it's already softening up after a week of wear. The Western stitching runs all the way up the shaft, which makes them feel a little dressier than my old plain ropers.

These took a couple wears to break in around the ankle, but the side loops make pulling them on way easier than my old pull-ons. The Western stitching up the shaft is subtle enough for everyday wear, not just ranch stuff.
