SEVERUS BOOT

I was worried the squared toe would look clunky but it actually elongates my foot nicely. The single-piece leather sole feels solid underfoot, and the Chelsea silhouette slips on easy. Wore them straight out of the box for a full day with zero break-in issues.

The squared toe gives them such a sharp silhouette compared to my old round-toe boots. Leather is stiff the first wear but softened up by the second. Zero break-in blisters, which never happens for me.

Wore these to a dinner and the reptile inserts caught the light in a way plain leather never does. The single-piece sole is dead quiet on tile too, which I didn't expect from a heel this height. Zero break-in needed.
