I chose a dressier boot for daily construction work. And the results exceeded my expectations

Everyday Life Boots. From work to the gym. From around the house to out and about.
Frank's Monkey Boot in Horween Natural ChromexcelBy Thomas_Steed_ • December 26, 2024"They have miles of walking. Hours of work in both offices and throwing freight in a grocery warehouse. They have been on discgolf courses, and in the gym while I'm doing my strength training. Literally everyday life in all aspects...."Read the full review
Some squish, please!
Frank's Ranier in Seidel Chocolate Oil Tan RoughoutBy Hayduke • December 6, 2024"I have mainly worn them around work on concrete floors and around town doing errands. I wore them to the shooting range, which was nice. It was good to have a solid footing while shooting. My job requires heavy lifting and lots of steps on concrete. The 2021 wedge sole seemed a bit hard at first, but I'm liking it more and more. The extra squish versus my Patriots is nice...."Read the full review
Favorite boots to date!
Frank's Monkey Boot in Horween Natural ChromexcelBy Thomas_Steed_ • March 9, 2025"I've been using these boots almost daily. I've definitely taken care not to abuse them in any laborious work I've done in them, as I'm not running them in the work dome. Being they are a chromexcel, I waited until the last month of the competition, once I knew the Idaho winter was over, before conditioning with bick 4 to minimize darkening, and allow the natural patina to keep showing through. They've been through miles upon miles of walking, freight work, gym use, office work, snow, mud, and my toe drag the few times I've thrown disc golf in them. In all, they have had a lot of love and been fantastic. Frank's built them like tanks, super supportive, and the best form fit I've got, and the toe box hasn't even really started to flatten yet, but the toe spring is fantastic. Couldn't ask for a better boot in this style...."Read the full review
Very happy, fits great. Comfortable, latigo leather is pretty stiff.

I am loving how heavy and sturdy the boots are feeling. The leather is quite thick. Still wearing in

Not much to say honestly, it's a solid PNW boot
Frank's Front Range in Wickett & Craig Chestnut English BridleBy evsnova74 • April 5, 2025"As a wood flooring contractor, I'm a little hard on boots, but not nearly as tough on them as a lot of other trades on the job site. But outside of that they have been involved in the occasional post hole digging, a little tree work, some mowing (I'm not the biggest fan of green edges) and various other yard work activities. Absolutely no mechanic work though, I hate getting drips of oil on boots I care about..."Read the full review
