Very nice, robust leather for this price point. These have broken in nicely after about two weeks of continuous wear and are getting very comfortable. Midsole/Vibram outsole combo is great with split welt. My only wish is that these were built with more arch support. My feet ache and expand in these more than normal after a day at work, and better arch support would help prevent that. Fit is fairly slim, even slightly narrow in the toe and midfoot then generous around the ankle and lower calf.
