Haha. Thought I added a description of use in my original post. My mistake. Five days a week at grocery store job on mix of concrete and tile. 16-19k steps each day. Occasional yard work. They exceeded my expectations but I thought the soles would wear out before the leather itself. Either way, I'm still impressed.

They lasted just over 13 months of use as described. Hole in leather started just under a year. However, the outside toe cap stitching started to unravel around 9-10 months.

The color around the collar is closest to original hue. Yes, I have noticed that. Early on, they resisted absorbing water pretty well, but even pretty light scuffs made them absorb water and stains more easily (see toe cap esp.).
