Tough boots that are versatile
Red Wing Beckman Flatbox in S.B. Foot Black KlondikeBy kudusole • April 3, 2024"I work in an office, so these were mainly worn as my business casual boots. However, the reason I say these are versatile is that it can be worn outdoors for medium range hikes / walks. Therefore also very comfortable for traveling where long walks are required. I have been to Korea, and Italy with these and didnt disappoint me..."Read the full review

Jack of All Trades
Truman Service Boot in Seidel Bay Double ShotBy dandandan • April 4, 2024"These boots were my daily drivers throughout the whole dome. I’m a lab manager, so I spend half my time in a lab and the other half in an office - nothing too demanding. Outside of work, I wore these boots to do basically everything else. The combination of the double shot leather and Truman’s rugged design allows these boots to fit into any situation. These boots can really do everything. One of my favorite memories in them is walking around DC in the pouring rain for several hours and they kept my feet nice and dry...."Read the full review
Wearing my Iron Rangers these last six months has been a blast.
Red Wing Iron Ranger in S.B. Foot Hawthorne MuleskinnerBy onelastboot • April 2, 2024"I've worn these boots pretty much every day since the dome began. They've seen plenty of mountain trails, hiked a few river banks, and were my best friends when it came to playing disc golf...despite what my friends might have said. These boots were with me when I visited my family in Ohio and were on my feet while editing hundreds of hours of audio for the Shoecast. I even took these boots skateboarding and landed a sketchy kickflip on them. They've been great. I've tried to wear them hard but also take care of them...."Read the full review
