“My new favourite sneakers! Look fantastic in the horween chromexcel natural. Build quality is fantastic and I've no doubt these will last a very long time. Stitching is neat, lace eyelets are solid and love the rolled leather detail around the top and subtle goral branding on tongue. Was worried that the gum cup sole might wear quickly but this one is very solid so any concerns are allayed (plus, I note goral can resolve these anyway). Also really appreciate the leather topped foam insole which minimises break in but should last longer than other synthetic insoles. A few minor issues that stop it being a 5/5: a) pull on loops are too small, b) laces a little too short, c) the bit where the vamp joins the toe box just below the start of the laces creates an internal bump which is rubbing my little toes a bit. Hopefully these issues can be resolved in any future runs. In any case, these are relatively small issues and should not detract from the fact these are really nice sneaker boots! Great work goral!”
