i’m looking to buy a pair of bostons but i’m not sure what ones best. i’d like to get the oiled leather as i don’t love suede and i know it can get pretty dirty.
the only thing is there’s only a few colours. i don’t really like the tobacco brown as the colour is really different in person that online. when i went i store i tried on a grey pair which i think is the iron soft footbed ones. the colour is a lot lighter in person but i quite like it.
from what ive read it seems that the sfb is less durable, is this true? would it not be worth it for me to get them?
