Scarpa Jasper Uomo | Perseid Black

The shiny leather on these gives them a sleek look that dresses up nicely, yet they're still comfortable enough for my daily commute. I've been wearing them for a week straight and they require zero break-in time.

The second set of laces is a nice touch for switching up the look, and the black leather has a subtle shine that catches the light without being too flashy. They’re comfortable right out of the box, and the climbing-inspired sole gives great grip on slick city streets.

I was a little worried the shiny leather would be too dressy, but it actually pairs perfectly with jeans for a night out. The two sets of laces let me switch up the look easily, and the sole has that nice climbing-shoe grip that’s great on slick city sidewalks.
