These boots are used more often indoors, because for outdoor activities I wear work dome boots.

Leather held up nicely despite of looking brittle
Truman Upland Boot in British Tan GrizzlyBy switchtrue • April 6, 2026"This did not see a lot of wear during the Patina Thunderdome, but the leather shows some color change and darker spots. Good potential for the future...."Read the full review
True Love!
Wesco Mister Lou in Maryam Natural HorsebuttBy kungfubeach • April 6, 2026"There are many Mr Lou boots but I am confident this is the only pair that has been to the bottom of a trout hatchery raceway. I had zero experience with natural leather boots so I was babying these with walks to and from the office until I fell in chasing an angry toddler’s thrown sippy cup. After that introduced some fascinating stains and patterns it was off to the races- these have busted through snow at 7,000 feet and soaked by a hose-happy toddler multiple times. These took me to casinos, logging conferences, daycare walks, office meetings, back country road trips, wildlife photography expeditions, Christmas and Thanksgiving dinners, trips across 4 different Sierra passes, and dozens of family walks. I took these on steeper and rougher ground than I’ve ever worn engineer boots and they were fantastic every time..."Read the full review

My Natty Shell Apple Watch Strap is a Patina Monster
Ashland Leather Apple Watch Strap in Horween Reverse Natural Shell CordovanBy BamaBoyinTx • April 6, 2026"I wore it everywhere (except in the shower!). The more I wore it the more it molded to me and the richer the color got. The reverse side absorbed a lot color and the Horween ink stamp become less obvious but def added a lot to this strap...."Read the full review
🌶 Wootten Sgt Peppers 🌶
Wootten Sgt. Pepper in Waxxed Saddle TanBy DownThunderdome • April 6, 2026"This 'Dome has involved a lot of travel, a lot of work and a bit of play. The best part about the Peppers is that they can really flex to a lot of occasions, especially in Australia with a quintessential chelsea silhouette. Have a wedding? Bit of a buff and easy with a navy suit. Work days at the office? Easy on easy off. Flights? A dream. Out on the farm? They can get it done. Snow in Shanghai to Western Australian country back roads, these boots have been on tour...."Read the full review
Always a good day to be boots day!
Briselblack The Buck Wholecut Lace to Toe in Horween Reversed Wax Burgundy HorsehideBy TrillDan • April 6, 2026"These were just the daily, all around boots. Spent a lot of time indoors due to my career. Southeast Texas environments which means zero snow, mild temps and humid. I didn't beat the hell out of them or anything. They led a pretty cushy life!..."Read the full review
