My Everyday Boots
Grant Stone Nora Boot in Badalassi Carlo Saddle Tan MinervaBy specgirl8 • April 5, 2024"My Nora boots have had near constant wear since November 1, 2023. I have not worn them seven days in all that time, and three of those I did not wear shoes. I have worn them running errands, on road trips, to the beach, to the river, fishing on the Chesapeake Bay, to a Congressional Subcommittee hearing, to the chiropractor, out with friends, and taking care of my elderly parents. Wherever I went, my Grant Stone Nora boots went with me with my feet in them.
They have been in rain, snow, sand, dirt, mud, grass, gravel, and sunshine...."Read the full review

The most comfortable boots till now
Yuketen Maine Guide DB Boots in Horween Full Grain Flesh-OutBy luutruc07 • April 8, 2024"I’m a solo barista at a coffee shop as well as a full-time baker and brewer. My job requires standing and moving a lot. I wear this pair at least 10 hours a day and 4-5 days a week. Sometimes hiking or gardening. With 6 months of continuous wear and the first three months during the rainy season where I live, these shoes have held up quite well. Humid air and weather cause shoe toes to collapse faster...."Read the full review
The best daily boot that didn't fit...
Viberg Service Boot BCT in Maryam Port 1071 HorsebuttBy timelesstough • April 6, 2024"My boots have been with me 3-5 days a week through everything. They've been with me through office work, yard work, the delivery of my fifth child, and the death of my dog.
