An exciting start to a new journey with the the best boots I've ever owned.
Nicks Free Range in Wickett & Craig Buck Brown Double StuffedBy Chippygyver • April 5, 2024"Worn daily to my job in heavy duty truck parts sales and deliver. Lots of walking at shops, farms and truck yards so plenty of mud, rain, snow, etc. Usually badly in need of some love by the end of the week. They clean up well enough. They've been to a wedding, some company events, date nights, and just every day activities on the weekend. They even made it to the Gulf Coast this year...."Read the full review

I wore my cheap boots to the big dance and had a damn good time!
Hall's Safety Equipment Lace-To-Toe Lineman Boot in Brown Crazy Horse Oiled LeatherBy FtValloniaStreaker • April 3, 2024"These boots go on my feet @ 5am and on a good day are off by 6pm but 9-10 is not unusual. I’m a printer by trade 8 hours a day, but after work is when the real work starts. Everyday is different construction, auto repair, welding, plumbing and electrical to name a few. They were in campgrounds, and on the beach, but airports are probably the biggest hassle. Being a mild winter not many extreme conditions experienced...."Read the full review
A ribbiting good time!
Jim Green African Ranger in Fudge Crazy HorseBy basicmechengineer • April 5, 2024"I mainly wore my boots to work, which is an office environment. Outside of work, I wore them everywhere I could. From going to the store, walking and playing with the dog, and even going to Mass. These boots have trekked through woods and fields, hunting small game. Worked around my in-laws farm, checked fields, cleaned grain bins, fed steers, and repaired and moved equipment around. They have put up with all the weather Mother Nature could think of, everything from rain to snow, hail to ice storms, the random occasion when the sun decides to peek through, and A LOT of mud...."Read the full review

Jakkrabbits Service Boot in Badalassi Carlo Olmo MinervaBy mfleeter • April 1, 2024"I wore these to the office and walking outside a couple miles here and there mainly. Very casual. They’ve been to see Metallica in Detroit and several football games...."Read the full review
Quality adventure boots
BLKBRD Luchador Service Boot in Horween Natural ChromexcelBy fieldlaf • April 3, 2024"My boots have hiked in various terrain from the rolling hills of Kentucky to the desert and mountains of New Mexico. They’ve been my everyday pair working from home and my weekend pair doing chores around the yard. Blkbrd’s site says these are made to be worn rough, and I believe it. I wanted a pair of boots that could transition from the woods to casual dining with ease, and these have more than accomplished that goal...."Read the full review
Weekend Warriors Just Getting Good
Nicks MTO in Horween Tan Waxed FleshBy Bigcountrybonsai • April 4, 2024"These boots became my after work and weekend boots that I regretfully didn’t get to wear everyday. Being in a clinic setting for work I felt I couldn’t pull these off with scrubs so I tried to wear them as often as possible and I knew I had a lot of work ahead of me if I wanted to have any contention in the work dome. During my off time I like to be outside and doing more physical work in general because it offers a bit of release from the mental fatigue of my profession. These boots served me well during various tasks and I feel like they’re just getting good. Some of the activities included splitting wood for barbecue and the fireplace, hiking into the wilderness to collect yamadori for bonsai, splitting and shaping staves of Osage orange in order to make hunting bows and just general yard work. They saw wind, rain, sand, mud, rocks, and wood. The only thing missing was fire...."Read the full review

They are by far my favorite pair of climbing boots.

Standing the test of time
Red Wing 8-Inch Classic Moc in S.B. Foot Oro-IginalBy Longshot • April 7, 2024"I am an electrician, I work in snow, rain, dust, mud, concrete floors and anything else a jobsite throws at these things, and they are incredible work boots...."Read the full review
For what I wanted, these fit the bill exactly. No frills, easy pull on boot
Briselblack The Seventh Chelsea Boot in Maryam Brown HorsebuttBy gear • April 4, 2024"Everyday wear, doing errands, going out, causal to more formal. My lifestyle does not include a lot of business casual or formal wear, so these are plenty “formal” to me when I needed to dress up slightly...."Read the full review
My first TD, with the third pair of jumpers I made.
Allister Caine Jumpers #3 in Pecos RawBy Allister_Caine • April 6, 2024"Daily activities, mostly work for eight hours a day in shoe retail, riding my bike everywhere I need to go and the on or another walk into the city just to flex them because they are awesome...."Read the full review
A very well constructed shoe, but I screwed up sizing because I didn't check my last, so no inlays.
