Bourbon Shell from today. I have a large rotation, but I’ve been trying to wear these at least once a week. The break-in hasn’t been easy, but I think I’m getting there.

Just took delivery of the new suede chelseas. They are amazing looking. Just curious from a fit perspective, as I’ve never owned a pair of chelseas:
-toe box is unstructured but feels slightly snug but not excessive, will it stretch for those with experience with viberg suedes
-heel slippage is there and I’m assuming it’s because they are new, but my foot doesn’t stay connected to the sole of the shoe as I take a step and it does slightly move around inside.

Concerning or just new and need to be broken in?
