Best reviews of April 2024
Just a basic Thorogood ST boot.
Thorogood 8" Plain Toe in Tobacco Gladiator Oil-TannedBy Mikejones100 • April 6, 2024"I wasn’t planning on entering the work dome this year as I had been laid off a few months before the start. Planned on only doing the Open category. Luckily I was hired and got a job a few weeks before the start, I wore these mainly in a Metal/fab shop doing welding and just regular metal work in dirty but indoor conditions. Nothing overly hard on boots besides the surface level stuff...."Read the full review
Overall nice pair.

Love my Iron Ranger in Amber Harness!
Red Wing Iron Ranger in S.B. Foot Amber HarnessBy MichaelCarpenter • April 5, 2024"While at work I have worn these while getting a new chiller operational, and ended up splashing around in a lot of water. The Vibram mini lug sole with no slip features was very helpful. I also moved vacuum pumps to my shop for maintenance. I spend a lot of time at my desk writing software, or working on electronic equipment that is malfunctioning. I went on a trip to Michigan where I was able to do some hiking in the snow and cold. They performed very well. I could have used some slightly thicker socks though. Traction was very good in the snow as well...."Read the full review

Great value, no frills, but it earns its resilience in the name.
Thursday Captain in Tobacco Rugged & ResilientBy Nath • April 6, 2024"I’ve worn this as a rugged city boot to work in a big tech setting, walked through the streets of Boston and New York City, hiked a few short trails, but mostly working in our yard clearing debris and fallen tree limbs resulting from several wet, wind, and sometimes snowy storms...."Read the full review
Overall I really enjoyed the boots, though this ostrich leather was not that warm for the winter

NICKS - The beginning of a great adventure!
Nicks DomePro in Wickett & Craig Tan English BridleBy alain.sauve • April 6, 2024"Whether trekking through the woods, riding my Harley, snowshoeing, or navigating city streets, my Nicks quickly became an essential part of my daily wardrobe. I literally wore these babies every day since last October. The attention to detail in the design and construction became evident as I experienced firsthand the quality and durability of these handcrafted boots.
The break-in process was surprisingly smooth and comfortable. Despite the sturdy construction, the boots seemed to mold to my feet with each wear, providing support and durability without sacrificing comfort...."Read the full review
Great and comfortable right out of the box. Tough and ready for adventure.
Drew's DROP10V in Seidel Elk Tan RoughoutBy david • April 4, 2024"I'm a roadie/sound tech living in Cabo. I've been wearing my boots to work almost every day. Though the beach is far from their natural habitat, they performed excellent. I was lucky enough that the competition took place during the "cooler" months of the year, and I didn't have to endure the overwhelming summer wearing 10 inch leather boots. I've walked to work, I rode my bike, and I never had an issue...."Read the full review

The relationship is still in its infacy
Nicks DomePro in Wickett & Craig Tan English BridleBy ChrisBurns670 • April 8, 2024"I bought these for a new pair of outdoor field work boots but this year most of my field work was inside occupied buildings or in the office. They would have been great last year when I spent most of the winter outside on a hilly, wet demolition site...."Read the full review
Great boot for casual and workplace ware, easy to break in and low maintenance leather.

Nicks MTO in Law Tanning Olive Smooth Shruken BisonBy amart32 • April 5, 2024"These boots are worn everyday for getting back and forth to my full time job.
