Best reviews of April 2025

Everyday Engineers
Wesco Mister Lou in Maryam Petrolio Waxed Black HorsehideBy timelesstough • April 4, 2025"My Mister Lous! These boots are up for anything!
After over two years of waiting to receive the Mister Lous, I have been motivated to wear them daily. This has primarily been in an office environment, but they do just as well on a hike, or shoveling snow, as kicking rocks under my desk.
I've learned to love pull-on boots for their convenience. If I'm running to the store, working in the yard, or heading into the office... These were the easiest boots to throw on...."Read the full review
A great value for a MTM boot

Grant Stone Nora Boot in Horween Dune ChromexcelBy litespeedd • April 1, 2025"I’ve worn my Nora boots almost every day since I started the Dome.

A "soft toe" from Nicks.
Nicks x Rose Anvil ND3 in Horween Brown Waxed Flesh & Seidel 1964 Brown SmoothBy cjelliott • April 4, 2025"I work at a bakery and most of my working day is spent slinging drinks and serving food so my boots see a lot of chemicals, syrups, natural dyes like matcha and turmeric, and bleach. The lighter weight build has helped me keep up with the fast-paced environment and given me peace of mind when it comes to dropping drinks or things on my feet. I've taken the boots to the family homestead in the Raneer foothills, walked with the slugs and moose in the local wildlife parks, hiked with my dog Remi at the PNW famous Bowl and Pitcher trail and trenched through snow during the longer winter this year...."Read the full review

Realized I probably should have added some speed hooks cause they took forever to get into everyday.
Onderhoud SPL01 in Maryam Natural HorsebuttBy Rivera • April 5, 2025"I tried to wear them in a variety of environments. Wore to work almost every day, wore them on a trip to Europe, also wore them hiking. They held up to everything I went through...."Read the full review
Best boots I ever had!
Frank's Monkey Boot in Horween Natural ChromexcelBy Thomas_Steed_ • April 1, 2025"These dogs have seen everything an Idaho winter and an active disc golfing, strength training, and power lifter, could throw at them without abusing them. We're talking snow, rain, salt, sweat, and mud. Miles of walking and hours upon hours of gym time. They've been the victim of a few toe draggs on my distance drives on the course and saw full-time time hours on concrete floors while I was throwing freight for winco, conditioned twice in the entire span of the thunderdome with bick 4, and they still ain't even close to a resole yet!..."Read the full review
