Three years old and still one of my favorite pairs
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.

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
