I purchased the honey distressed color and I think they are really pretty. While wearing them I was doing stuff in the kitchen and noticed that water droplets absorbed deeply instantly. It took a long time for them to dry (hours). Fortunately they didn't stain, and I was able to put some leather conditioner/waterproofing on them before they stained. They absorbed a lot of product, so they were very dry. I highly recommend doing this before you wear them if you are like me, and like your leather to look clean and not beat up, especially with water drops.Now that wide-leg pants are back in style, I love having a pair of these clogs again. They balance out the pant leg and give me a little extra height to keep the paint leg from dragging on the the ground. I think they are too expensive for what they are (Mine were $151 with tax), but I guess most things are these days. I had a pair a decade or so ago that lasted me for years and I think I only got rid of them because I had moved on in style. I hope these last as long as those did. Somehow they are comfortable, yet awkward and boxy at the same time. Hard to explain, but I'm really glad I decided to get them.
