Funny thing is in store 325 fit me better than 365. It’s only after a few wears that it flipped
Funny this is being discussed, as I came here to ask a related question.
I have Conistons and Islays in Brown grain. I just returned from a heavy-hiking bro's trip to Japan and the Islays were my go to day shoe. I usually bring my Conistons, this is the first time w/ Islay.
Islay feels fine for daily wear, even long days, but my foot was not as happy on like 10+ mile days as it has been in Coniston. I think its just a little too roomy for me.
I'm going back to Japan in Feb and want a black boot for the day, so was thinking of one of the black Conistons.
So the question is - Black Grain on Dainite or Black Roughout on Vibram?
How is care on the Roughout? Will it do ok in rain w/ outside chance of light snow? Vibram seems like an attractive option in my use case.
Thanks!
