Looks like 2040, calf.

Ah you must be right, those boxes seem like they are for the slippers.

Rare to see olive with such yellows, very cool. Do these have a structured or unstructured toe? If the latter I gotta' keep on an eye on the secondary market.

2 weeks of good off-duty wear for the zulu waxy kudus. Some cosmetic loose grain on one toe cap. Fit is honestly impeccable (and I normally wear orthotics with hot weather rough outs for work).

Probably 30-40 hours, mostly multi-mile walks in wet dirt and gravel. Just rinsed off in these pictures - you can see the toe cap is markedly darker due to dampness. Treed most of the time when not in use.

Am I am Obenaufs candidate? Just for the edge and welt near the toecap (not on the toecap itself)? This area is constantly wet here in the PNW and I am on my feet on some walks for hours. Just rub in a little with a gloved finger?

Structured I guess. 🤷‍♂️ It’s not floppy.
Got them from Blue Button shop last year.

To prevent the snow melt/salt from getting into the leather, for the winter months I use Saphir - Graisse HP Dubbin (Salmon oil based) once or twice during them winter months depending on use in the snow. This product was recommended by Viberg.com I find it to be a great protectant against excess moisture during the winter.

Nothing screams Spring like murdered out slippers.

The shape of the slipper with the stormwelt is so so so bad. It's laughable.

what is this CFS phoenix leather? cow hide or some other hide?

I suspect I may be in the minority, but I'm liking a lot of these. The wedge soles look great with the kangaroo leather, the sneakers have never looked better, and the suede is a great classic spring color. I don't know why they made Pachena Bays for S/S, but lots I'd wear here.

The only part that's a miss for me are the service boots. They look like afterthoughts made with spare leather in the factory, rather than a part of this collection.
