What's the difference between Heritage Solid and Soft Solid? Heritage Solid styles are stiffer than our Soft Solid styles, but they're the same quality of leather.HeritageSolid styles will take a bit longer in time to soften, whereasSoftSolid styles will break-in and soften within the first hour of wear.
We simply want to offer different versions of our Solid styles, as we know and understand how much dedicated time it is to break them in (and that they're very stiff right out of the bag). The patina of both types of leather will be a bit different than each other, each having their own special tone of deep tan while still resulting in a beautiful hue of wear over time. Now you have options!

Break-In Your Pair of Mohinders to Make Them Uniquely Yours
Some break in quickly, and some take a bit of time. Regardless, they do break in beautifully, developing a dark and rich patina, becoming softer, and form-fitting to your foot.
They're Supposed to Fit Extra Tight at First ☝️
Yes, it feels like your toes are squished. However, really tight without your toes pushing hard against the front of the shoe is the right fit.
This style fits best when they start out tight. Over time, they'll mold to your feet, soften, and lightly loosen to make more room. If they're loose at first, they'll only get looser!
Handmade with Perfect Imperfections ✨
There can be slight variations in color, scars on the leather, other marks, and certain imperfections. Embrace the imperfections and know that most of them will diminish or dissapear with wear.
