Best reviews of April 2026
I liked these enough to buy three pairs (in other colors).
Addict Boots AB-01 Engineer Boots in Maryam Black HorsebuttBy kronograf • April 4, 2026"Desk work, out with the kids and fam, general tropical city activities. No rock kicking or belt sander...."Read the full review
More rock and roll with every wear… too bad they don’t make these in an unstructured toe
Thursday Journeyman in Thursday Waxed CacaoBy geckotrekker • April 4, 2026"I wore these about 120 days over the course of the dome. Mostly in the office and on walks around the city. They are surprisingly water resistant, but the exposed leather in the half sole did not hold up well the the PNW damp..."Read the full review
These Nicks boots were a great all-around boot. Casual, big lugs, and ready to go anywhere.
Nicks MTO in Horween Spokane HoneyBy Barbaq • April 4, 2026"My boots have traveled with me from NJ to NYC several days a week. They were mainly used for commuting and working in my office. They have been to TX, FL, NH, VH, PA, and IL. They have been to the beach and the mountains for vacation. They have passed through the TSA 6 times...."Read the full review
Everyone should own a pair of boots made by Kiri Skuce
Skuce Shoes Villeray Boot in Shellcordovan Metta Catharina Natural HorsebuttBy ahuebner • April 4, 2026"Walked about 500 miles total in these on mostly concrete/asphalt and they held up better than anything else in the closet. And because they were made to measure, the fit was absolutely on point and made this incredibly comfortable. Kiri makes some of the best boots in the hobby and the way these things settled in over time is a testament to her designing things not necessarily for how they will look new, but rather how they will look over time...."Read the full review
Compelled to be Domed
Nicks Ivan Boot in Horween Light Natural DublinBy GTOby04 • April 4, 2026"This pair made for a great casual boot, fitting in smartly with my time away from work. They’ve spent most of their life indoors, away from the harsh elements. Most of all they’ve become a comfortable old friend, always dependable to be ready for daily life...."Read the full review

Timber Roanoke, Builder Pro's. The Supple Veg Tanned Leather That Could...
Nicks BuilderPro in Horween Timber RoanokeBy ShnyHntr91 • April 3, 2026"Setting poles, pulling wire, bringing electricity into folks homes are the required duties asked of all my work boots. But these endured so much more than that. Several weeks of either wet conditions and/or frozen temperatures kept this pair in check day in and day out.
Calcium Chloride was the ultimate boss battle, as it worked its way deeper into the vulnerable vegetable tanned leather that Roanoke is. Several light duty cleanings were needed just to maintain the integrity of the boot.
Once winter broke the scars of battle were evident but the Builder Pro's still stand strong...."Read the full review
First dome experience
Kiattoko Handmade El Tippo in Italian Crust HorsebuttBy Ayam • April 3, 2026"Used them mostly in my clinic, two outdoor parties, a wedding, and while working on my garage..."Read the full review
Solid boots
Tricker's Churchill in Horween Natural DublinBy claus • April 3, 2026"Just regular office work, walking the dog, cycling around. We had a lot of snow in January and the dainite soles were not up to the task at all. Had a couple of deep gashes on the left boot from a sharp edge on my bike stand. Sad, but they thankfully didn’t seem to affect weather protection too much...."Read the full review
Another year in my work boots
Nicks Free Range in Double Stuffed CrimsonBy SKopp • April 3, 2026"Used at work in a paint shop, hot humid summer and cold wet snowy winter. Lots of solvents and paint splatter..."Read the full review
Boots chosen at random, worn with purpose.
Nicks MTO in Law Tanning Black Smooth Shruken Bison & Wicket & Craig Double Stuffed WalnutBy Particlepartition • April 3, 2026"I am finishing my apprenticeship to become an electrician this year. These boots have been on the largest project I've ever been a part of.
They've seen miles of crawling through service tunnels under a church, time spent in the bell tower, up and down scaffolding, bent thousands of feet of conduit, hours in scissor lifts 30 feet in the air, and tons of kicking myself for my mistakes. They've taken it all in stride and have been a wonderful constant in my work life..."Read the full review
Winter Sh*tkickers for the everyday Canadian.
Canada West WM. Moorby 2857 in Grand Canyon BreakwallBy SirDabsAlot • April 3, 2026"These boots were my primary winter boot for the worst of the worst that the cold northern Canadian winter brings. They saw extremes of -40C and were put to the test. They held up great and did the job. They saw all kinds of terrain from fields to forests, river banks to mountain sides...."Read the full review
Very positive experience with Parkhurst and Waxy Commander
