Overview: These bad boys are 10 years old, purchased back in 2011 from the now shuttered Winn Perry in Portland, OR (RIP). At this point they’re a little worse for wear, but they’ve arguably been my favorite pair over the years, and they used to be a daily driver. They’ve only had 1 resole, and lot of Montana pitch blend rubbed into them. Honestly, I didn’t expect them to go this long and I’m going to try and get them in for another refurb at the Qouddy facility. Leather: I’m not entirely sure where the material is sourced from on these, but the leather has faired pretty well. Quoddy now says they use “Prime Grizzly/Peanut” - maybe one you knows? The cracks you see are from neglect, as I haven’t worn them in quite some time. The shoes now fit like a literal glove and I’ve only worn them without socks. They feel like slippers. Sole: I’m a big guy (6’5 240lbs) so soles tend to go pretty quick, and these are no exception. But, given I’ve only resoled once, I can’t complain. I don’t think the Amazonas camp sole is even used anymore and has been replaced by Vibram, which probably has better durability. Longevity: Any lightweight shoe like this that goes for 10 years speaks to the inherent quality of the materials and construction. Quoddy lives up to its reputation and I won’t hesitate to go back for a fresh pair (maybe in 5 more years :) Also, I think I paid $50 for a resole/repair of the shoe, which is a really good deal. Fit: I’m a 12D Brannock and I went down a full size at the instruction of Jordan Sayler (Winn Perry owner) because he said the leather would stretch out, and he was absolutely correct. Also, I never wear socks with these. I actually own another pair of Quoddy’s in 11.5 and they feel just a touch big from my taste. In short, I can’t recommend these enough. These fit too small if I wear socks
