Byron Boot - Carolina Brown Chromexcel

Description
The Byron Boot is your go-anywhere, do-anything footwear. Inspired by motorcycle culture but with a drop of sophistication, the Byron embodies the best of Rancourt & Co. shoemaking knowledge and tradition. The uppers are crafted from Horween's veg tan Essex leather in black. This rugged black leather is low maintenance, durable, and incredibly handsome.We lasted the uppers on our proprietary 115 last, the same last we use for our dress shoes. We offer a wide range of sizes and widths on the 115 last because of it's superior fit and elegant shape. It perfectly straddles the line between dress and casual. Each pair is fully lined with Horween's Casco horsehide lining in black. We love Casco because it is a soft and supple leather lining that lends more structure and durability to the uppers without sacrificing comfort. The bottoms are a winning combination of leather midsole with a storm welt and the Vibram #430 mini lug. They complete this rugged look without overdosing on "commando" style. The Byron Boot is handcrafted in Lewiston, Maine USA using our Blake Welt Stitch Construction.

Blake Construction last. Longer and narrower than our handsewn last for a more sophisticated look and fit. Used in dress shoes and boots. Order your normal Rancourt size but consider ordering one width up if you like a roomy fit. Sizing Guide
This is a great boot with a minimal break-in period. I can tell that it will patina nicely. Overall comfort and fit is a 9.5/10. I’ve worn these boots in inclement weather and it kept my feet dry. Walking for many hours on concrete is practical. Carolina Brown works as a staple for any wardrobe as a go-to brown boot.
These boots are worth every penny! The leather is amazing inside and out and the construction is solid. They broke in after a few hours of walking around the mall. I only wish that at this price point they came with shoe bags and/or a spare set of laces.
Very comfortable, great craftsmanship; okay leather
These boots look very nice, fit me well, and are very comfortable. I have only had them for a month or so and have mostly worn them for work, so I cannot say a lot about durability/longevity. But the stitching is excellent and the lining leather is soft and supple. I have seen much better looking pieces of Chromexcel leather than is the case with these. The leather on the quarters (the parts that touch the ankles) has very loose grain and is already bending and creasing in less than desirable ways. The leather on the tongue and forefoot is a little tighter grain and higher quality. Also, the leather that my Rancourt derby shoes are made with (natural chromexcel) the grain seems to be tighter as well, so this could just be an issue with my pair. I have some other shoes from rancourt that are also made with Horween's Chromexcel leather and haven't had the same issues, so hopefully you won't either.
I expect these to last a very long time and serve me well in a variety of settings.

Hello Scott,
Thank you for the review! Unfortunately, as you can imagine, from hide to hide, there can always be some loose grain. We certainly do our best to avoid these pieces however, it is not always possible.
Your support and feedback are greatly appreciated.
I was impressed with the quality of these boots the first time I put them on. They were comfortable from the first wear. I put them on and immediately went on a two mile walk with no real discomfort during or after. I appreciate the attention to detail on these boots. The Casco horsehide leather lining is such a nice touch and is much appreciated. I like the gusseted tongue (which I don't think is mentioned in the listing description). I like the brass eyelets for quick lacing. I like the profile of the boot. I bought some classic boots from another company and the toes were too bulbous. I wanted to like them but I sent them back. I bought another pair from another popular company that won't be named and they just didn't feel correctly proportioned. The Byron boot strikes a great balance between tough and classy. I do not hesitate to wear these to church or work. The Horween leather is also a must-have in my opinion. Bottom line: these boots strike a great balance in the market. Made to order in Maine is also nice. For sizing, I highly recommend printing out their foot sizing guide and measuring several times until you feel comfortable. The sizing guide worked perfectly for me and these boots fit great on the first order.
