I've worn the Baxter mocs a few times now, and the initial quality is startlingly good for the price point. The suede is great, even and consistent nap - what you would expect from CF Stead. The sewing is super clean and consistent with no loose threads. It's not immaculate (tiny nick on the welt on left instep, very light scratch on the suede that is only noticeable up close on the same instep), but it is very close. No blemishes or stray glue spots that you might be able to forgive at the price point. I'm very impressed with the workmanship, from the varying choice of threads in different places, to the subtle and consistent gathering of the leather around the moc stitching, to even the surprisingly suppleness of the leather laces.
I can't speak to durability yet but the early returns are impressive and will make me consider Palomo for more purchases.
Comfort - Great from the start with no break in, which is far from my usual experience with shoes. The moc construction is very flexible and the full lining has produced no hotspots at all. They have slightly more structure, and look sharper than some of the unlined, super casual camp mocs, which fits my use case for a business casual office and around town shoe.
Sizing - While they say the shoes run true to size, their size chart shows the size of the last, so keep that in mind if you go by their measurements and want to leave a little room in the toe. My foot measured right at a 9 and I went with a 9.5 on that basis and it fits perfect.
