John Lofgren M-43 Service Boots in Horween Natural Chromexcel RoughoutBy gv7 • April 2, 2025"I wore them in any situation. Most patina probably came from hiking in them, but I wore them for work (office job) and any and everything social as well...."Read the full review

I can't explain in a few words what these shoes did, I think I really lived them, as I am living me.
Grant Stone Diesel Boot in Incas Jungle KangarooBy SimOnthEdge • April 2, 2025"I have used these shoes in various territories. From the wooded and rocky areas of Sardinia, with dust, sea, sand and mud, to the mountains of Trentino where there were heavy snowfalls and temperatures even at minus 15. I tend not to use heavy socks and I still found them good in both area.
I have also used them to work both in the evening at the reception of a restaurant, and as a shiatsu masseur in various hotels in Trentino, and for pleasure trips in the city.
The best use, however, was to visit many lost archaeological sites in Sardinia where the shoes, like me, were imbued with incredible energy...."Read the full review
The Desk Jockey and The Occasional Adventure
Wesco Mister Lou in Maryam Natural HorsebuttBy amaru_and_crow • April 1, 2025"My daily commute takes me from the breakfast table to my garage and the most dangerous thing in encounter in my day is the wheel of my office chair. With that said these boots have traveled the Americas crossing the equator about 4 times including walks in a few Andrea cities. These certainly have a bit of that TSA patina...."Read the full review

One Dome, Two Boots, Thousands of Steps: A Review of my Viberg Natural Wooly CXL Service Boots
Viberg Service Boot in Raw Natural Wooly ChromexcelBy august_september • April 2, 2025"I have put these boots through just about every condition possible. I hiked in them through mud and water, wore them in dense urban cities, got some good office chair patina, wore them in a hurricane and for cleanup after the hurricane, wore them in sub-zero deep freezers and outside in 90+ degree weather. I've worn them to set up and tear down my booth at around 30 farmer's markets. I've worn them during my cobbler apprenticeship, getting all sorts of glue and scratches on them...."Read the full review
