Wanted something light and casual for summer months and the office, etc. These fit my needs - and wife really likes the look. Sizing for me is a full size down. Im a 9.5 in classic chukka and 8.5 in the weekender line. Break in will be quicker with lighter construction and a cushioned footbed (not usual leather / cork). Very comfortable!!! I don't expect the outer sole to take a ton of wear, but thats ok - since Ill rotate em. Will be interesting to see how 2x a week goes. Nice RW quality, as expected. Love the muleskinner leather!
