Very impressed with these fantastic boots.
Grant Stone Diesel Boot in Badalassi Carlo Saddle Tan MinervaBy Patrick_I._Nas • April 3, 2025"I wore these boots every single day for this project, which means through all kinds of weather and activity! Hiking, biking, commuting, traveling, and getting my daily steps in, through sun, wind, rain, and snow. These boots have been a faithful companion and they have never let me down...."Read the full review
Thick and chonky derby
White's Oxford in Seidel Brown DressBy kleinknecht • April 6, 2025"These White’s spent most of their time kicking around urban environments, but saw multiple hikes in very wet to dry conditions.
No matter where I took them, the boots held up well. They handled everything without issue. They’ve proven to be solid and versatile, working well for everyday street wear as well as rugged environments. The V bar makes them so so on ice and snow but for everything else they are great. They have serious heft! I look forward to several more years with them...."Read the full review
A pair I’ve truly grown with. My everyday favorite.
Grant Stone Edward Boot in Horween Maduro Shell CordovanBy bootguy • April 5, 2025"I’ve worn these about three times a week over the last six months, mostly in an office setting. I avoided heavy snow and bad weather, but they’ve still seen a fair share of life. A quick brush every month or so with water and a horsehair brush has kept them in great shape without overthinking it. They’ve become part of my weekly rhythm...."Read the full review
GS Edward boots 6 months of wear, leather just started aging
Grant Stone Edward Boot in Badalassi Carlo Natural MinervaBy Hatsandboots • April 6, 2025"I’ve worn these Grant Stone Edwards 5 days (9 to 5 deskjob) a week for work during Thunderdome. Due to the harsh weather conditions in Eastern Canada, I’ve worn them inside in an office environment, but had the chance to wear them outside as well for approximately two months...."Read the full review
Less is more
Viberg Chelsea in Conceria 800 Champagne Washed VachettaBy Mark • April 4, 2025"I wore these boots literally every single day of the dome. I wore them in the woods, on the beach, on deck and in port, in soaking wet and freezing cold and desert heat. They went from BC to PEI twice and from the Arctic to the Antarctic. I wore them in six provinces, four states, seven countries, five continents and across three oceans...."Read the full review
Tough waxed leather that became supple and incredibly comfortable over time!
Truman Cap Toe Boot in Horween Black Waxed FleshBy Cellardoor • April 5, 2025"My go-to boot throughout the winter in Denver, Co. They're tough as hell and very waterproof. I work full 8-hour shifts indoor in them too, mostly on my feet all day...."Read the full review
Started as fun project, ended in a professional hashtag
Rios of Mercedes 1971N in Tan HorsebuttBy OnlyTans2023 • April 6, 2025"From NH to WA and MN to TX these boots have collected some frequent flyer miles.
I’m an electrician by trade that has moved into the BD/sales side of the business. So these boots have been exposed to a multitude of climates and events in my last 6months.
From asshole deep snow walking a job in to taking a pair of boots to Wesco in Oregon to get rebuilt while on a work trip.
They were on my feet when I came to TX from Indiana for a job interview in Dec and I just took their last pictures in the back yard of my apartment in Texas and yes they were on my feet when I moved down here in a couple of suitcases
These boots have been conversation starters, so much so that I started a new hashtag on LinkedIn

Perfect pair to get over my mild phobia of black boots.
Viberg Service Boot in Maryam Black HorsebuttBy TheHobbyCobbler • April 5, 2025"To the office plus many miles of walking. I also wore them at the boot shop where I am apprenticing under a cowboy boot maker on the weekends...."Read the full review
Nick's boots does it again !!
Nicks Wickett and Craig Toe Cap - Double Stuffed - MTO in Wickett & Craig Natural Double StuffedBy yorkpahomes • April 6, 2025"I wore these boots all but 4 days over the six months contest period. Usually had no less than 15 hours per day in this pair. They went on several hikes, went to glass blowing classes, went to a Ray LaMontagne/ Gregory Alan Isakov concert, they hung out with global superstars, they were worn clearing snow, worn to the office, worn in my woodshop, heck even worn during naps. These boots have seen a lot of terrain from the woods to the city streets, from snow to warm sunny days, from dirt to sawdust, and everything in-between. I didn't baby them but they were taken good care of when they got home...."Read the full review

Russell Moccasin Backcountry in Full-Grain TimberjackBy Navajo732224 • April 2, 2025"I have been anywhere and everywhere from the snowing hills of Tahoe to the concrete sidewalks of San Francisco these boots have seen the a good amount of the pay and most of Northern California. I have hiked over 200+ miles in them along with how many miles i have walked doing other things then hiking. I wear them to do everything but work...."Read the full review
My Training Wheel Boots
Grant Stone Diesel Boot in Horween Crimson ChromexcelBy wistless • April 4, 2025"These have been my everyday boots for the office and weekends. I'm not particularly active or adventurous so they have only seen carpet, concrete, asphalt, and the occasional gravel trail...."Read the full review
A Jack of All Trades, Master of None
Russell Moccasin Backcountry in Walnut TimberjackBy towcars • April 1, 2025"I wanted a pair of boots that I could put on in the morning without thinking. They've been with me hiking, hunting, doing yard work, harvesting firewood, travel for work, days and nights on the town, in the basement of a dive bar or two, and in the office. I think that they've managed to pull off all...."Read the full review
