Skolyx/Yanko service boots as daily beaters?

[Yanamala]

Eyeing the Yanko service boots on Skolyx in burgundy. €300 range. Good for rough wear or too nice?

I just grabbed the Yanko service boots from Skolyx https://www.skolyx.com in burgundy, and so far, they’re great. At around €300, the build quality feels tough — solid leather and Goodyear welted — so I wouldn’t worry about rough wear. They’re definitely “nice,” but that doesn’t mean fragile. I’ve been wearing mine on cobblestones and in rain with zero issues. If you treat them like real service boots (regular conditioning, proper breaks), they’ll hold up and look better with age.
