>>2779353Yes, adding the leather toe cap was important to me because I often hit twigs and sticks head on into my toes.

>>2780775They are ar8s with tyre wedge sole. Pretty comfy, I do regret not going barefoot desu but its a fairly low heel as it is.
>overallIve finally been able to spend the whole day in them without blisters, they get more and more comfortable every time. I can't comment on waterproofness, I used the sealer jimgreen sells and they don't wet my feet in wet grass or rain. They are very heavy, don't underestimate that. Extremely grippy tyre wedge, steep inclines in dry dirt feels very secure. Nt4vg2
