My leather Carrolls are good quality and pretty damn durable. I hit the first lace hole stitching with some goo and they’ve been lasting a while. Gonna retire em to due a bald sole before anything else. They were TTS for me.
Wish it had more padding, quite slim compared to the OG, and the leather is a bit stiff for my preference but that’s for a different conversation. Overall the quality is there in my experience.
Also, those oval laces they come with are a weird choice. I threw in round laces that came with Legacy Slims and it looks way cleaner.
