These are very expensive, but if well maintained will last forever. They won’t be sweaty like a goretex boot, and while goretex will be more waterproof at first, the lining breaks down from abrasion and wear and becomes a non waterproof but still sweaty layer in your shoe. Leather is obviously non vegan (boo) but is a great shoe material.
Additionally it has a relatively thin sole which should be good for driving feel.
yeah i dont think im gonna buy $750 boots lol
Yeah I don’t own a pair either too rich for my blood, but you used to be able to find them on deals for more like $350.
I made a pair of leather Moc boots inspired by these, and really dig them - but that’s obviously not for everyone.
