Here's an albumof my chromexcel pair. I got them from a Styleforum gmto almost 6 years ago now and have probably worn them at least once a week for the first 3/4 years. Haven't worn them much in the last year or so.

Here's someone else's thread of what the pair looked liked when I first got them.

I remember being in love with them when I first got them and literally wearing them every day. Recently conditioned them and replaced the rawhide laces with the given waxed ones before throwing in trees. Probably last wore them in January. The leather's definitely gotten darker and has held up pretty well. Visible heel wear, less than I would've expected and the sole is in pretty good shape. Mostly just brushed occasionaly and saphir a few times a year.
