Ronnie Fieg for Diemme Cornaro

I've been eyeing Diemme boots for a minute but never really saw a cw I wanted to pull the trigger on. I honestly thought I missed the release and checked online to see that my size was the only pair leftover on kith's site, so I ended up grabbing it lol.

Materials: the upper of this boot is made of a soft suede, which is wax treated & weatherproof based on kith's description. The toe cap is a premium grey suede that is soft to touch and has some nice color change to it. The majority of the boot is a port color suede, that carries on the premium feel and closes off with a debossed 'Kith' logo near the back panels. On the back heel there's a navy suede surrounding the collar & a tan suede that wraps around the heel counter. My favorite part is the suede, 'Fieg' patch in the Slate Grey, something subtle, but a cool touch. Last thing I wanted to mention is the sock liner, which is a very soft & comfy navy leather with the rest of the interior made of a canvas lining. Overall, I feel like given the price point & going rate for durable boots, these were well worth the price.

Comfort/Sizing: in terms of comfort, it's a boot, so it's pretty firm out of the box however I will say there is a pretty thick & padded insole with pretty decent arch support as well. I don't wear a lot of boots personally, but they are more squishy & comfy than my ROA boots. SIZING - I went tts in these and do have some heel slippage if it's not laced all the way up. There's about a half size of room leftover & I would recommend going half down (minimum) or a full size down depending on the thickness of your socks.

Overall Opinion: from what I've seen with Diemme, they add an elevated & premium feel to their boots. With these, I feel like Ronnie chose some nice quality materials & put together a clean colorway that inevitably assisted in me purchasing my first pair of Diemme lol. I probably wouldn't wear these in all weather conditions, because they are really nice, but it's dope to know that if I get stuck in bad weather for whatever reason, I won't have to stress it. Overall, I'm happy with my purchase 🥂🥾
