Cross post from Trickers's thread:

Yesterday arrived a pair of black Stow in commando with natural welt. I have been delaying this purchase looking for Dainite sole; the heel in commado sole looks a tad agressive, but couldn't find them in Dainite. These where purchased from the Tricker's Outlet that is worth a look. They are made in M/C leather so I requested more informacion and this is the reply I got from Tricker's leather specialist:

The Black M/C leather is a heavy duty motorcycle type leather, firmer and with a dull finish.

The leather is smooth and does not shine, just what I was looking for. These boots are going to be worn with jeans and cords, that's why I have changed the black laces that look somber and replaced them with some running shoes grey/black laces.

It took me over 6 months to break in my Iron Rangers, but that was with only 1 or 2 times a week wearing them for a few hours. Once broken in they are darn comfortable.

What took you so long? Where was the problem area?

I’ve been wearing them everyday for a couple of weeks, which included a visit to the zoo with my family. They are feeling better now, the first couple of days they were really stiff.

My 8111's felt really narrow and stiff when I first got them but they molded to my feet and became really comfortable. Unfortunately I sold them a while back which I regret sometimes.
