Best reviews of April 2026
6 Months Done!
Truman Upland Boot in Seidel Tobacco SnakebiteBy Malikian23 • April 3, 2026"I have worn these boots virtually every day over the past 6 months. When the Thunderdome commenced, it was spring going into Summer, where we get temperatures from the mid-30s to mid-40°C. Worn everyday in the office, plus weekends for leisure, light gardening work, and holidays. Currently, these boots are with me in London, travelling through the UK and will soon be in Berlin and travelling through Germany.
These boots have held up through all these conditions with ease and have not missed a beat. Well and truly broken in and are now extremely comfortable...."Read the full review

Pre worn category has been excellent, great reason to start using an older pair of boots more

Sagara Cordmaster in Maryam Natural HorsebuttBy niku • April 3, 2026"Mostly worn as a daily activity boot, nothing too crazy and not in extreme conditions. Lots of brushing as well. During the dome it got rained on a couple times and I think that eventually darkened them a bit but I like the gradations that came in because of the more normal wear...."Read the full review
Change, what change?
Grant Stone Cap Toe Boot in Annonay British Tan CalfBy jct • April 3, 2026"I mostly wore these to the office and clear days when I wanted to give my dome pair a break. I also liked wearing them for dressier things like going out to dinner and such...."Read the full review

Great Take on an Historic Classic
Viberg N1 Boot-Marine Field Shoe in Horween Marine Field RoughoutBy SierraLizard • April 2, 2026"I’ve worn these boots pretty heavily over the past six months, basically every day, rain or shine. That included trips where they saw a good amount of snow and rain and they needed cleaning and drying a handful of times along the way. Most weekdays were spent in an office setting, but weekends included outdoor use, housework, and general knocking around...."Read the full review

The handed adventure.
Christian Daniel Fernando Chelsea in Maryam Hand Overdyed Mustard HorsebuttBy amaru_and_crow • April 2, 2026"These are my daily drivers. I work from home and I have them with me all the time. With that said had a been a dirt bike rider these boots wouldn't have shown a mark. This leather is arrow proof - not bullet proof like waxed flesh but this can certainly take a beating and keep lookin good...."Read the full review
I do this for me
Red Wing Pecos in S.B. Foot Hawthorne MuleskinnerBy amaru_and_crow • April 2, 2026"I use my boots daily during the dome - I don't skip a day. This year was lower key. I spent most of my days working from home and as a dad to young kids, if I'm not at my desk I'm driving someone around to something. They bay area didn't get a lot of rain so most of my days were dry but someone's got to walk the dog if it's raining and that on me...."Read the full review
