The verdict?
Well, I won't make any comments on durability etc, but the fit is good, a little tiny bit on the tight side with my ordinary thick wool socks, but a-ok with thinner socks. They are unlined, so a fair bit lighter than for instance my alden indys.
The santalum rubber sole looks good and the rubber/leather heel feels good so far. They are a bit less black and more a dark/matte grey, but some black shoe polish will fix that right up i suspect.
So far, I'm quite happy with how they turned out, will make a more thorough review later.

I think they look awesome

They certainly look the business Lucifer, how is the stitch and finish quality? Any chance of some close pictures of the welt stitching?
