LONG TERM REVIEW - TWO PAIR OF CAMDEN DERBY SHOES (Virtually Indestructible)
I have two pair of these shoes that I bought a few years ago. If the shoes could talk, they would tell you that they really wish that they had gone to a better home. I wear these shoes all the time, and in every condition you can imagine.
I live in the country. I might wake up, shine a pair up, and wear them to the office. But, when I get home, I am very likely to change clothes and wear the same pair out into the pasture to check the cows, or into the garden to do a little work. I wear them in the rain, in the mud, in the fields, working on old cars, etc. I walk three or four times a week around the pasture for exercise, and 90% of the time I wear these shoes. It would be fair to say that my "do everything in these shoes"
These shoes look great and are ridiculously durable. I interchange the two pair that I have. I have had these shoes for a few years and, with the exception of one re-soling, they are in great original shape. No matter how atrociously filthy I get them, I can always clean and polish them right up into a very respectable appearance. I am rough on these shoes, yet they seem to take the endless abuse in stride.
I don't know how the stitching has stayed intact.
I congratulate the individuals who make these shoes. You make an incredibly long-lasting, quality shoe.
