Attractive, easy to style, and hard wearing
Truman Cap Toe Boot in C.F. Stead Snuff Waxy Commander SuedeBy franklynne • April 6, 2025"I wore these boots nearly every day for the 6 months of the dome. They've spent most of that time in Washington state in wet conditions. They've been to Oregon and California as well. They have been with me for over 30 days of dog sitting and help me dig a grave for my cat. Most of the wear has been in the city but they've seen a couple nature walks as well...."Read the full review

The Most Comfy Boots Ever! These Boots Give Hightop Sneakers A Run For Their Money In Comfort.
Grant Stone Garrison Boot in Black Waxed DeerBy renee2day • April 5, 2025"Oct-Nov: These boots have walked lots of dogs, raked leaves and power washed the driveway.
Nov-Dec: November was a blustery month in the PNW. These boots slogged through the downed branches and wet leaves while walking enthusiastic dogs.
Dec-Jan: December is more of the same: outdoor dog walking in PNW rainy muddy weather 🐾
Jan-Feb: January saw more dog walking through all terrain which included being tangled in brambles and lots of mud.
Feb-Apr: These boots got near daily wear walking dogs in all weather and varied ground...."Read the full review

Oak Street Bootmakers Lakeshore Jump Boot in Badalassi Carlo Garret CottoBy spyder550 • April 5, 2025"For 5 days a week, amongst backpack landmines, desk legs, and middle schoolers' feet, these navigated a carpet and tile workplace. Wearing these 5 days a week was not the plan originally, and they ended up on my feet most weekends as well. My wife has noticed that I have a new excitement for walks around the block and onto the mountain park trails that neighbor our house. I even climbed a few boulder problems in them with the ultimate goal of summiting without a scratch. I haven't been unduly abusive in my wear, and there has not been a lack of maintenance, but I have definitely carried them into the world well beyond their intended classroom habitat. They have handled everything well...."Read the full review
Nicks Stationmasters- best engineers out there!
Nicks StationMaster in Seidel 1964 Tan SmoothBy 32oz_denim • April 5, 2025"These guys have spent most of their hours kicking around Perennial Artisan Ales in St. Louis, MO and it’d probably be easier to describe what they haven’t seen. I mainly manage our barrel aging program as well as maintaining and fixing equipment and systems, but you’ll find me doing just about any job in the brewery as the operations manager. As a small team, I still spend plenty of days brewing, cellaring, and packaging beer to get the job done. It’s hot, humid, wet, and often dirty work. This winter was pretty gnarly with a ton more snow and ice than usual- whoda thought Vibram 700 isn’t ideal for ice? whoops. They’ve also spent plenty of time outdoors wandering around the woods and our family farm chasing youngins. There is endless amounts of scuffing from the brewery, but I’m sure feral toddler feet have left their mark as well...."Read the full review
Casual, convenient, comfortable
Oak Street Bootmakers Country Loafer in Horween Natural Chromexcel RoughoutBy polishengineering • April 4, 2025"These are my daily drivers for suburban dad life. Grocery stores, daycare drop off, dog walks... These are the slip on and go shoe of choice over the mild winter. They might get less use when summer hits and my feet need more air...."Read the full review

Rugged boot in the office
Jim Green Numzaan in Jim Green Walnut Veg TanBy Dennis • April 5, 2025"Mostly, I used the boot as a every day boot in the office or just going out of the house. But I also took them on long walks, mushroom hunting, and further activities that are not so hard on the boot. The longest I had them on my feet at one time were during the IWA 2025 in Nürnberg where I wore them for almost 20 hours straight...."Read the full review
