Another Year, Growth
Project Pandion PE1.2 in Vegetable Tanned BovineBy nothomeatl • April 5, 2026"I work in an office setting in education and these were my companion throughout the entirety of the dome. I’m also an avid car enthusiast and diy’er around the home, so these saw a broad set of conditions. I’ve done a full rear-end rebuild of my car, regular maintenance, building a trailer, and projects around the house. As refined as these are, they took every bit of what I and my random projects through at them - excel sheets, or sheets of drywall...."Read the full review

Clinch Hi-Liner in Wickett & Craig Black-Overdyed LatigoBy amvoith • April 5, 2026"Worn often and worn hard in all conditions since purchasing three years ago. Worn around the farm and Homestead, air travel, traveling around Europe and NA, to the office and anything else that I'd wear footwear for.
The bite out of the left boot is a consequence of leaving the boots unattended with my sister's puppy in the house last year. When I send these in for work eventually I'll see about putting a patch over it...."Read the full review
Mainly wore these to work, average 2200-2500 steps a day love how the leather aged.

Proud of these boots
Myself Dress boot style in Falconry Kangaroo Veg Tan (hand dyed Tan then black)By Togebough • April 5, 2026"Pretty much exclusively wore these boots for the past ~6 months. I wear them daily in clinic for full time work, as going out boots, for my mates wedding, a trip to Europe and even exercise. I've been limited to all footwear in past 3 years because of my plantar fasciitis and these being like one of 2 boots that actually accept my orthotic. Suffice to say they've gotten plenty of wear...."Read the full review
