This is my third pair of Lethato shoes. I own two boots (one blue Judphur and the other Brown and black Desert). Both were purchased in size 10. I am size 9 but because of wide feet I usually get 9.5. So I got 10 based on the recommendation from the Lethato FAQ to size up if I’m between. I should have gotten a 9 because the boots took no time to break in and got slightly too big. I did not want to go through all the trouble of return and exchange. So I just got Dr. Scholls inserts and it’s all good. I get a ton of compliments. I wear the boots with jeans, khakis and suits. Can’t go wrong.
Now on to the this shoe. I was torn between two separate colors in this model - the Gold and the Black. At the end, I coveted the Gold the most. It took zero time to break in. Literally no time was spent on even a slightly uncomfortable feeling. I have paired these bad boys with colorful khakis and blue suits. And wow, what a feeling just walking in them through the streets of New York City! It about the color and the cut. It’s about feeling like a million bucks.
One quick issue with both this shoe and the desert boot is the brass pieces at the end of shoe laces. They’re too heavy and they pull down the shoe laces making them come undone when the laces are new. But over time as the laces get a bit of action they start to hold better. Overall not an issue.
I am going to collect a few pairs in the next few months. So far it’s been amazing. Highly recommend.
