How does the Paladin 73100 fit?

It runs true to size — order the size you wear in athletic shoes, and choose Wide if you normally need an EE width. The soft toe leaves the forefoot roomy, the logger heel breaks in over the first week, and the orthotic insole is removable.

How do I care for the Paladin?

Knock off dirt, wipe the leather clean, let the boot dry away from direct heat, and condition the leather every few months. Goodyear leather welt construction means a cobbler can resole it when the Vibram outsole wears.
