My Vultures: Life changing boots
Bright Shoemakers Vulture (Extraordinaire) in Horween Black ChromexcelBy Rieslingspaschteit • December 24, 2025"I wore the boots casually. I do not mind going to the forest to give them a nice cleaning afterwards. Mostly in dry conditions due to the climate. I wish it had rained more so the boots would collapse more, but it is what it is...."Read the full review

SAGARA TRAILMASTER
Sagara Trailmaster in Arborwax BlackrustBy iqbal.ibos • October 27, 2025"I’ll wear my Trailmaster almost every day, from recce trips and shooting days on set to long hours editing in the office. As a creative director and videographer, I’m constantly moving through all kinds of terrain, and these boots will go wherever work takes me. They’ll look right at home anywhere and handle whatever comes their way...."Read the full review
A perfect blend of rugged and refined - with character to spare.
Viberg Service Boot BCT in Maryam Fango Vitello CalfBy Slash • October 21, 2025"I first used this boot only for work since it's a nice color, goes well with chinos and has a relatively formal style thanks to the BCT. I also really loved that it didn't crease too much. After a few months of use I started using it for every occasion, whether it was going to work or just walking to dog. The big change came when I decided to take this boot on my vacation to Africa, where I wore it very rough for 3 weeks (alternated with another boot). The sun, the mud, and the sweat blended to really push the boot towards a cool patina, which I love. I've since cleaned and conditioned it and it looks phenomenal...."Read the full review
Fit review
Canada West WM. Moorby 2857 in Grand Canyon BreakwallBy SirDabsAlot • October 5, 2025"Length and width seem good, however, the EEE toe box is very voluminous. I imagine this is for extra sock layers for the -40 winters we get here. I made my own insoles from veg tan. Stacked a few layers and added some extra layers to build up the arch. Once the cold comes I’ll swap the leather insoles out for some wool ones...."Read the full review
