I don't know if the shoe will last the entire service, but the design is predictable, and quite a bit lighter than the 700 ES boot.

The leather on the tongue is thinner compared to the ES, and the sole is thinner as well, but it also looks vulcanized.

To be sure, apply seal oil before use, to soften it a bit and fully waterproof it.

An interesting point is that because the product comes from a workshop, each boot is a little different from the other, for example, mine have different inner linings, although the material remains the same.

I will return a few months later to update on durability.

P.S. I bought it from a local store in Heraklion, Crete for the price of €75. After thorough searching, I also saw a store here on Skroutz that has it much cheaper, but if you don't try each shoe, especially for such use, it's a risk.

Upd 8/9/2024 It comfortably completed the service, and without needing to "break it in" at all. Lightweight, I never suffered, the only thing I added was gel insoles and everything is excellent.

Now it has been dyed and has become more "rock," but I highly recommend it as a solution that will get you through the service without causing the orthopedic problems of the boots they give us.

First of all, you should leave it for 1 or 2 days with nail polish and then polish them, because they were somewhat tight but they opened up the first time I wore them for 15 hours, because I had applied polish and they softened. I have them for special occasions and visits that require them, whoever wants to wear them all day it is good to polish them with paste and not with self-polisher for durability over time.
