Hello friends. It came to my mind that I need some Bison Leather shoes (eyeing on the 633, 575 or 508 in black Bison), but my feet are a little bit on the sensitive side...
Since I've seen a few Bison shoes here and I'd love to hear about your thoughts, especially regarding stiffness, thickness and overall feel agains Calf leather. Do they rather expand, keep their size or (hopefully not) shrink a little?
Thanks for sharing and helping me decide
Would be not my first but second StC btw...

The American bison they use is not stiff at all really. Very pliable, but it is on the thicker side from a mm standpoint. Seems to hold shape just fine.

I have a pair of 9.5F of the 524 Chukka Boots in light brown Janus suede that unfortunately did not work out for me. They are just a bit too narrow in the toe box. I've only worn them on a rug to try on, so they come with shoe trees, unworn sole, and shoe bags.

Please send a DM if you are interested. Also linking the B&S thread, which has photos.
