It’s just a visual error. The line shouldn’t be going over the node

Have some captains that are a few years old worn pretty often. They have held up decently well, though the outsole on the toe has become separated a few times, it’s an easy fix (think I may drag my feet sometimes). I’m pretty hard on things, but the leather is genuinely tough and high quality (I have a rugged and resilient pair iirc)

Was in Farmington last month, neat seeing the area here
