A few weeks back, there was a post on the Sebago Hamiltons, a cheap waterproof wingtip boot from a respected brand. A lot of people bought one; I was late to the party but found a sale and mine came in yesterday, in "dark brown". I'd like to know what people think about theirs before I begin to feel disappointed in mine.
See, I've never owned a boot which is even remotely dressy as this one is -- only hiking boots. Nor have I ever owned wingtips. This is why I wonder if my disappointment in two things is worth actually being disappointed about. The first is: the purplish-looking leather which, though it may be of good quality (I believe it is), has a strange purple sheen and feels waxy or plasticky. The second is the thin, thin sole, through which I can feel every contour of the ground.
What do other owners of the Sebago Hamilton think of these boots, if you've worn them for more than a few days? I'd like to know what I'm supposed to expect of them.
