Smart Versatility
Nicks x Parkhurst V2 in Wickett & Craig Tan Oiled LatigoBy ScuffedUpKicks • April 5, 2025"These were my daily drivers for the last 6 months. I mostly wore them daily for my office work and walking around the city. They also traveled with me on a couple trips with extensive city walking in both cold and wet environment as well as hot and dry. The boots took it all comfortably and looked better for it...."Read the full review

Comfy office mocs.
Quoddy Blucher in Horween Natural ChromexcelBy cows_electronico • April 5, 2025"I bought these shoes to be my primary pair of shoes to pad around the office in. Not exactly heavy use or deer stalking, but incredibly comfortable for daily wear. I roll into the office, put on a sweater, and switch into my mocs - in true Mr Roger's style. Extremely comfortable, and good looking to boot!..."Read the full review

Oak Street Bootmakers Country Loafer in Horween Natural Chromexcel RoughoutBy missouridenimdad • April 6, 2025"These country loafers were on my feet any time I was not sleeping or didn’t have my other dome pair on.
