Rancourt & Co. Dirigo Derby in Horween Black ChromexcelBy ewolarsky • April 3, 2025"Over the course of the Thunderdome, these shoes got eighty days of wear. This was mostly suburban life and office work, but I walked in the woods from time to time for variety...."Read the full review
First Impressions
John Lofgren El Capitan in Horween Black ChromexcelBy gameofdrones • February 16, 2025"One day of walking around town on paved surfaces. The Vibram sole gives just enough impact absorption compared to an old pair of Frye boots with Oilite “cork” soles that are super rigid.
The vamp is just starting to crease. I’m still babying it, not flexing it too much...."Read the full review
These 100% US-made boots are going to last me years upon years.
Nicks Handmade Boots 365 Stitchdown MTO in Horween Black ChromexcelBy domestictourist • March 10, 2025"I wear these mostly on soft ground, more than concrete. In a vehicle with them a lot, which might as well be an office considering how little they get scuffed in there. They’ve gotten thoroughly soaked quite a bit, have been through three snows, and gotten muddy a lot. I am wearing them daily and brushing them daily for the first 6 months of wear, and lightly oiling once per month for the first 6 months too...."Read the full review

Get what you want, not what you think you should get
Nicks StationMaster in Horween Black ChromexcelBy SKopp • April 1, 2025"I exclusively wore these when i wasn't working. Unfortunately i had a lot of car troubles and had to save up to replace it so i only left the house when i had too, so i never got as many miles as i would have hoped on these. Mostly grocery shopping, family gatherings, and short walks in the neighborhood..."Read the full review

Fit like a glove and getting better every day!
Nicks x Zuriick Merriman in Horween Black ChromexcelBy Leroy • April 4, 2024"Where do I start...? I literally wore these every day since day one of the 'Dome! I wore these all through cherry and apple harvest, working long hot days in the field. They were worn in the fabrication shop welding, the wood shop sawing, and working on the motorcycle in the garage. I brushed them almost every night, wore them to BBQs, fancy restaurants, two weddings, and to the gym. I also brought these to New York for a produce show, Iceland for an adventure, and Italy for a week of feasting and walking 50k steps a day (ouch). I cleaned them in the hotel sink every time I was on vacation and needed to take Dome photos abroad.
Every day means every day. At around 90 days in It's no longer a decision what to wear, it's just footwear. It's like they're a part of you. At 120 days in they're fully broken In and they don't hurt after a long day standing the whole time. At 6 months they're like tennis shoes - very supportive and thick, badass tennis shoes... Wait, no - tennis shoes are stupid. They are just the best footwear money can buy and there's no going back to lousy footwear... Ever...."Read the full review

Comfort And Style
Viberg Service Boot in Horween Black ChromexcelBy _cryptid_jack • April 1, 2025"All day for most days of the week. Mostly at work, selling shoes! Carpet over concrete and sometimes tile, lots of bending and kneeling and running. Climbing ladders, shuffling around cardboard boxes. Then, after work a light walk in the grass or, during the winter, snow...."Read the full review
Pleasantly Surprised
Grant Stone Nora Boot in Horween Black ChromexcelBy lydialove • April 1, 2024"After about 3 weeks I had decided I should have joined the work dome and not the open. I wore these boots everyday in the shop and in cemeteries working with granite. Then I would give them a good brushing to wear them to town and conferences. I love how I was able to dress them up and down...."Read the full review
