Norwegian Split Toes are a love-hate type of shoe. There doesn’t seem to be a middle ground. I like them because they’re different from mocs and they’re not that common. They work well as a casual boot and on the right last without contrast stitching you could probably get away with wearing them with a suit.
They are natural CXL in the TruBalance last. I have the same model in suede. My Color 8 shell version is supposed to come in next year. I need a calfskin to complete the set of each leather. And then maybe some Indy PACs for the hell of it. Rumor is there maybe a run in the Whiskey colored shell in the next year or 2.
Pic related is after they darken up and get some age.

Biggest issue with CXL is people don’t take proper care of it. They think since it’s an oiled leather they can just leave it be or they try using regular polish. With CXL you have to have shoe trees or it will look like shit and use mink oil or coconut oil every regularly. Regardless calf skin will always be superior to it.
