Journey through moving houses to jungle trekking, the streets of Taiwan and the ruins of Rome!

Wonderful Work Boots
Wesco Jobmaster in Seidel Red Dog Oil TanBy Zeonic • April 2, 2025"Ive worn these primarily during my field topo work as a land surveyor. This includes walking through dense forest not on trails, walking through wet grass, mud, and dried dead corn fields for miles and miles. It's been over the winter so it's been kind of dreary and wet with some snow included...."Read the full review

A pleasant and enjoyable journey in a pair of Oak Street Trench boots.
Oak Street Bootmakers Trench Boot in Tempesti Walnut Overdye Camello AsportabileBy Spoon • April 5, 2025"These were a near constant companion every day with me at work. That is why you can see the strong "office" patina on these boots.
These were a part of my life for the last 6 months and accompanied me on all my adventures.
-Hiking around Acadia and then Vermont and New Hampshire
-When I met my current significant other, I was wearing these boots.
-When I visited family for the holidays, met my new niece for the first time, and traveled to my brother's wedding, i was wearing these boots.
Like every year, these dome boots have a place in my heart, given the life events that they were apart of and will be in the rotation because of it for many years to come...."Read the full review
My first pair of engineers in a Nick's and Murawski collab.
Nicks Pullman in Horween Black Waxed FleshBy Spoon • April 5, 2025"These were mostly subjected to office work, no real intensive testing took place at the test track to subject these boots to more of the elements.
These boots were also worn to events with family and friends (i.e. Oriole's playoff game, holiday gatherings, etc.)..."Read the full review

Engineers for the rest of your life.
Unsung Desert Fever Dream in Maryam Natural Rovescio Sego HorsebuttBy itsnotbriatall • April 3, 2025"They've been on my feet for everything I've done almost every day for the entire dome. From office to hiking to driving. Rain, mud, sunny days. I really haven't found an activity that these boots don't handle comfortably except maybe airport security...."Read the full review

There's no question. These are my outdoor boots for the foreseeable future. I love these boots.
Nicks x Rose Anvil ND3 in Horween Brown Waxed FleshBy ProletariatPrince • April 5, 2025"I wore these every other day for the dome, plus some extra days when I knew I'd be working outside. I didn't shy away from rain, snow, mud, or anything. I just put them on and went out, and they took everything I could throw at them.
I even wore them through the airport and on the plane.
I did a lot of walking in these boots. They are, in fact, the most comfortable boots I have for walking. 8-10 miles in a day was no problem at all.
After they broke in some I had no trouble squatting or kneeling in them, though after a while of squatting, it does feel tight across the instep. But that's true for any boots.
Standing on ladders was never a problem, climbing skinny scaffold and tower ladders was never a problem. I never felt unsure of my footing.
I travel a lot, so I wore them in cold, wet, hot, dry, every condition from Florida to West Texas, to Seattle, to Brooklyn, to Missouri and everywhere in between. I never had any issues with wet feet or discomfort...."Read the full review
What a journey
Urban Shepherd Scout Charcoal in Waxed Portugese CalfskinBy sbjweyk • April 1, 2025"These boots were part of quite a few adventures. I’ve visited castles, explored cities and medieval town centres. They have been worn on many day hikes and short stoles and they encountered basically every condition I could come up with, form sandy beaches to wet grass to muddy puddles and ankle deep snow...."Read the full review

Jim Green AR8 in Fudge Crazy HorseBy Scope75 • April 6, 2025"Wore them daily at work as a mechanic, and they spent lots of time in the dirt playing fetch with my dogs. Over the course of the dome these boots have walked over 1000 miles or over 2 million steps...."Read the full review
