His name is Alex, and the label is VINTOS boots. I have this suspicion they are Mexican cobblers and operate under a USA shipping and billing address because their location is so close to the border. I always picture the movie COCO when I think of it=).
I've been wearing them to work for about 6-7months now and they are super comfy, and breath really well as they are leather lined plus I wear bamboo socks in them (I live in QLD Australia and it gets pretty hot here, so anything past the ankle HAS to breath).
I wasn't deeply sold on the colour, so I used Saphire Decapant to strip back the colour, and then worked in 'Kelly's Lynn Stain Polish' in tan.
It gave them a bit of patina and depth. One of the people I have been treating for work reminded me she is a costume and prop hand on lots of the films made here in Aus (Aquaman, Thor most recently). She told me about a couple of guys they use here called 'Pendragon', and I might try them next time I can justify the money=).
