Solid second-best option for first-time buyers with Goodyear welt construction and exceptional closed channel sole. Known for stiffer leather requiring longer break-in, but the closed channel sole protection is typically not seen until $350+.
Strength
- Goodyear welted construction with cork and resolability
- Closed channel sole protecting the main stitch, typically seen at $350+ price point
- Presence in Manhattan storefront provides confidence
- Affordable at $195
Weakness
- Stiffer leather with longer, variable break-in period
- History of rough customer service
- Basic last design
- Hit or miss leather stiffness experience
