Malfroid Bonneville II

Founded in Paris in 2018, made in Porto on French-tannery leather with a Vibram Gumlite sole. Bought for 250 EUR on a good discount after researching quality GYW producers. The smarter shoe in the rotation when the Wolverines are too rugged.

Wolverine 1000 Mile Plain-Toe Boot

Bought at half price from a Malmö shoe shop that no longer exists, these Horween Chromexcel boots have outlasted a decade of fall and winter use. At around 145 SEK (€13) per year of ownership, the TCO case is not even close.
