The visual impression is excellent. The seams appear to be set myself very well and worked carefully. The leather is flawless. The sole is a bit different than the vintage models, but makes a worse impression. The insole is different from my vintage model, it is made of leather, the vintage model from synthetic material.
The leather of the Asia-model affects the touch a little harder than that of manufactured in England vintage model. Of course it is very hard and has yet to be broken in with a lot of patience. But I know that already.
If the shoes are broken in, I will add my review accordingly and write about the comfort then reached.
EDIT: The shoes are now broken in what was remarkably fast. Already at the first wearing they were amazingly comfortable in contrast to the vintage model. I wear now both models very happy and almost every day. The leather of the vintage model is a bit softer and probably just quality. But has the AsiaModel a sewn closure of the shaft, which the Vintage model has not. I am very satisfied and can only recommend the Asian Docs. They are worth their money. At Vintage model I can not say so easily, why that four, but the Asian model gets five stars.
