John Lofgren Combat Boots in Horween black Chromexcel - Initial Review
John Lofgren Combat Boots in Horween Black ChromexcelBy USMC_K9_VET • December 15, 2024"So far I have worn these pretty casually. I’ve only had them about a week, and have worn them mostly in and around my house. Walks outside and on dirt roads...."Read the full review
Awesome Viberg boots on their 2030 last
Viberg Service Boot in Camel Oiled CalfBy USMC_K9_VET • December 4, 2024"These have been worn everyday since Nov 1 when I entered them into the Thunderdome. I don’t do anything crazy with them as I don’t have a job that demands they get extremely dirty or beat up, however I do put about 10,000 steps on them everyday. Where I live they mainly see a lot of dirt and pavement road walking and this time of year will start seeing some snow...."Read the full review

Nicks moc toe wedge boot, the no nonsense tough solution to any job site endeavor.
Nicks Moc Toe Pro in Seidel 1964 Tan SmoothBy KuKuSparky • December 29, 2024"I make my bones as a commercial and industrial electrician. The bulk of the work that I’ve done in these boots has been on a warehouse TI job roping, running EMT ranging from 3/4”-2.5”, and some underground work. On my own time these boots have carried me through a few projects including a residential rewire, digging a trench for a pool, rearranging receptacles for a salon and roping a brand new ADU. Through every task these boots have proved worthy and able to tackle anything...."Read the full review
TankerPros: Fall of the Laces.
Nicks TankerPro in Nicks/Seidel 1964 Ash Gray RoughoutBy Theakkid • December 12, 2024"It would be futile to try and list everything I do in these because I do everything in these. I live in a fairly remote place in Alaska and do a wide variety of stuff. These boots are there for every step of the journey...."Read the full review
My most reliable and bombproof boot.
Nicks x Rose Anvil ND3 in Horween Brown Waxed Flesh & Seidel 1964 Brown SmoothBy cjelliott • December 30, 2024"I work in a medium pace cafe with a decent length of days. I get to sit down during my commute to and from work. These fit more underneath slimmer leg'd pants like my N&F jeans in Easy Guy, tech chinos from OldNavy, and a few others. You will stand out if you're wearing a lighter-weight pant with these...."Read the full review
Breaking In Sagara Imperial IV In Conceria Cloe Superlux Horsebutt
Sagara Imperial IV in Conceria Cloe Superlux HorsebuttBy USMC_K9_VET • December 18, 2024"These have admittedly not been worn much, but that’s going to change in the near future. Most of my time has been devoted to wearing my Dome boots, but I am really excited about continuing to break these in as for whatever reason when I got them a couple of years ago I hardly wore them at all. The horsebutt is beautiful with some awesome grain. It’s definitely a bit stiff, and these also have a double midsole which I’m sure requires some time to break in as well...."Read the full review
A firm but oddly supple leather.
Nicks Free Range in Wickett & Craig Meadow Double StuffedBy UrsusAstartes • December 2, 2024"Worn for multiple time for over 18 hours straight. Weekdays they are on for 10 hours. Fridays and Saturdays they are on for 16 hours plus. A few miles everyday. Trips have included NYC with 15 miles of walking, 8 miles into the woods, and wetlands for 6 hours, and multiple leisure activities...."Read the full review
Nicks Station Master 12inch
Nicks StationMaster in Wickett & Craig Natural Double StuffedBy Deanis345 • December 7, 2024"So these are my every waking moment boot ( outside of the house) I have used them for everything. I went on a hike with my family to a see a full masonary bridge that has been submerged since 1880, anyway my oldest daughter got stuck in the much and I had to go in an “rescue” her and got all of that smelly decaying vegetation much on my boots which left some pretty wild stains where the muck was caught between my jean and the shaft. I also for everything else possible Christmas shopping at the mall, cleaning up my yard, riding the kids around on my dirtbike, holiday parties so on and so forth...."Read the full review
First time PNW - and I love it!
White's Farmer/Rancher in Seidel Red Dog Oil TanBy AlexB • December 9, 2024"I am into well made leather and denim not because I need it for work but because I love well made things that are the result of decades of building know how and cherishing old production methodologies. I cannot wear boots to work as I’m working in a job where a formal dress code is demanded. This means that my Whites (and other boots) are essentially weekend warriors. And warriors here means that they fight against NYC pavement and the occasional visit of the upstate NY outdoors. They age very gracefully and slowly I feel. Some scratches from riding city bikes, some wrinkles from walking around...."Read the full review

Although I actually wanted the 206 last I really am enjoying these!
Flame Panda Chukkas in Maryam Natural Horsebutt Overdyed Brown then BlackBy Sips • December 29, 2024"I’ve been wearing the shoes almost every day since the beginning of the dome, except for the one week we had snow, and I’ve averaged over 12k steps a day. Although I switch to Birkenstocks at the studio and trainers for my workouts, I probably average more than 6k steps in them on a daily basis...."Read the full review
Embodiment of Comfort
Oak Street Bootmakers Country Loafer in Horween Natural Chromexcel RoughoutBy polishengineering • December 29, 2024"These are my suburban parent shoes. Daycare drop offs, bus stops, groceries, swim class, and now dog walks. If I don't have to literally run, there is a strong chance I'm wearing these...."Read the full review
