Great boot, at least this pair is
Corcoran CV1511 in Performance "Spit Shine-able" leatherBy brunizam • April 3, 2024"I used them regularly at least 3 times a week for work as barista and free time as well. They took days where delivery comes as a champ. Biggest surprise was how water resistant they were when the snow was until the knee and that they actually had grip in that weather..."Read the full review

1000 Miles (and Counting…)
Viberg Service Boot PCT in Horween Natural Shell CordovanBy solestandcool • April 3, 2024"These were worn constantly. No activity or condition deterred that. From the office to jobsites, from sun to sleet, these were on foot. Significant mileage was racked up walking the streets of NYC (the heels tell that tale), a significant amount accompanied by my never-tired Blue Heeler on our daily long walks. My phone tells me I’ve walked/ran 1,100 miles over these past 6 months. Outside of a recent reentry into running, all of those miles were lived through these boots...."Read the full review
Climbed trees & rode ATVs then brushed them up to wear to the office the next day. Pretty remarkable
Oak Street Bootmakers Trench Boot in Horween Natural ChromexcelBy jamesontisch • April 3, 2024"I’ve worn them in all conditions. From rain and snow in the northeast to chopping down trees to office work and even to my wedding venue. They’ve done and seen it all...."Read the full review
A super versatile and comfortable pair of boots in a leather that has grown more beautiful with wear
Russell Moccasin Premier Chukka in Horween Rust ChamoisBy philbert • April 3, 2024"These boots have been super versatile for me. I’ve worn them to work in a dental office, hiking and walking around town. Also, for some light duty upland hunting, although the sole is definitely not meant for slick conditions...."Read the full review
Journey of a thousand miles, journal mile 308
Jakkrabbits Gunner in Horween Black Chromexcel & Badalassi Carlo Oliva PuebloBy ListingToPort • April 4, 2024"Mostly worn to work at the marina. I’ve been fortunate this year with being invited to many hockey and basketball games by various sponsors. The great thing with these boots is they transition from engine room work to business events perfectly. I change clothes but no need to change boots. They’re asked about often (maybe I push that a bit), people are curious, and some enjoy a nice rabbit hole discussion. I think many people suffer in their shoes and just think thats how it is.
These past couple months in these boots have walked me in a fair amount of life wins. Been there in some loss too. Some lost friends and a pet. I’ve never owned a pair like this, most of my shoes and boots make it one season at best. You’d like to think that you could have a piece of clothing that stays with you long enough that it absorbs life experience just like a home. Maybe I found one, I hope...."Read the full review

Nicks DomePro in Wickett & Craig Tan English BridleBy woutvafan • April 3, 2024"I have worn these boots around 5 to 6 days per week throughout the Dome. I have an office job, but often go to construction sites. These have also been utilized on hikes, performed yard work, car and tractor maintenance, and a master bath renovation...."Read the full review
These Diesels are smokin! Grant Stone rocks!
Grant Stone Diesel Boot in Horween Navy ChromexcelBy renee2day • April 4, 2024"I wore these boots almost all of October and rotated them every other day after November’s contest submission. These boots have been in all weather, rain, ice, snow, mud, brush, brambles, rocks, gravel, and pavement. I wore them walking dogs outside. They cleaned up nice to meet real estate clients and the public for open houses. They even got danced in a few times in the evenings...."Read the full review
This is a tough pair that looks as great in a business casual fit as it does in a Canadian tuxedo.
Grant Stone Brass Boot in C.F. Stead Dark Burgundy KuduBy JoshankRedemption • April 1, 2024"I've worn them on a work trip to Cold Bay, AK. I did physical labor in them, I hiked in them. Then I got promoted and worked an office job in them. I did my first rotation of the graveyard shift in these boots. I helped my wife when she got her car stuck on a snow burm wearing these boots. I've asked a lot of these boots and they shrugged it all off...."Read the full review
