Have been wearing these for about 3 weeks now and they are breaking in nicely, getting more and more comfortable by the day and the leather has softened nicely. I don’t really wear them for driving but have done the once and it doesn’t look like they are going to develop a horrible crease which was one of my concerns.
They were a bit rigid for the first couple days so if you are buying them for a particular event, it’s probably an idea to wear them around the house or something so they can mould to the shape of your feet for that extra bit of comfort!
Can’t really comment on wear on the sole as I mainly wear them in the office but seems like they will last a good couple years.
All in all, a very smart pair of shoes and I’ll probably consider one (or two) of the other colours too!
