The last 6 months have been a blast! It has gone by way too fast. 🤙
White's x Division Road LTT Logger 375 in Horween Black Waxed Flesh & Horween Natural ChromexcelBy a1moyer • April 3, 2024"I wore this pair primarily for work as a UPS package car driver. 📦
I did wear them to church on the weekends every once in a while and did a couple hikes in Forest Park.
Portland is a pretty wet city in the winter so they saw a lot of rainy days and puddle jumping. They spent most of their time in SE Portland neighborhoods.
My supervisor crunched a few numbers for me and found that I *average* around 3500 deliveries/pickups a month.
That breaks down to about 175 stops a day, some days more, some days less...depending on the time of year and route. These boots were on my feet for most of those deliveries. They did get a short break during the snow/ice storm...needed to bust out the V100 soled boots for those days.
These boots have almost pure package car driver patina. 😂 In and out of the truck, driving from stop to stop, organizing/selecting packages in the back and making the deliveries. 🤙..."Read the full review
Amazing fit and pattern built to a high standard. Very happy.
Willie's Handmade Boots Engineer in Horween Brown ChromexcelBy the_duke • April 5, 2025"My work involves office duties and a lot of driving. Not much in the way of walking. These were worn for work and general day to day family life...."Read the full review
Best boots I ever had!
Frank's Monkey Boot in Horween Natural ChromexcelBy Thomas_Steed_ • April 1, 2025"These dogs have seen everything an Idaho winter and an active disc golfing, strength training, and power lifter, could throw at them without abusing them. We're talking snow, rain, salt, sweat, and mud. Miles of walking and hours upon hours of gym time. They've been the victim of a few toe draggs on my distance drives on the course and saw full-time time hours on concrete floors while I was throwing freight for winco, conditioned twice in the entire span of the thunderdome with bick 4, and they still ain't even close to a resole yet!..."Read the full review
Excellent Boot style, sailed through winter, and heavy wear, sole still looks new, Horween cxl best
BLKBRD Bulwark Trek Boot in Horween Natural ChromexcelBy technolounge1001 • April 2, 2024"This boot I have been using for commute to work in Boston, and many times continued it with dress in office as well. It felt good with dress pants as well, probably due to comfort.
Have used these boots for outside travel, blowing leafs in fall, plowing snow in storms, and recently built a whole fire pit with seating area in my backyard with these boots...."Read the full review
Honestly if you want these, get them from OSB

Comfy office mocs.
Quoddy Blucher in Horween Natural ChromexcelBy cows_electronico • April 5, 2025"I bought these shoes to be my primary pair of shoes to pad around the office in. Not exactly heavy use or deer stalking, but incredibly comfortable for daily wear. I roll into the office, put on a sweater, and switch into my mocs - in true Mr Roger's style. Extremely comfortable, and good looking to boot!..."Read the full review
Good boots for casual hiking and outdoor activities.
BLKBRD Bulwark Trek Boot in Horween Black ChromexcelBy fieldlaf • April 4, 2025"Boots were worn 4-5 days per week while working from home. Also outdoors walking the dog and weekend hikes of several miles. Walked around in the snow, too, when it wasn’t too deep...."Read the full review
Phenomenal boots. Comfort, class, ease-of styling.
Alden Indy Boot in Horween Brown ChromexcelBy clintashlock • April 5, 2025"Casually and formally (to an extent). These are incredibly versatile for my midwestern, urban/suburban lifestyle...."Read the full review

Finally a good fit.
White's Bounty Hunter in Horween Natural ChromexcelBy meangiant • April 6, 2024"These got less miles on them than expected due to some health issues. But they still got a lot of wear and did a great job making it through a buffalo winter. They saw some hiking, shoveling, walking around the city, a lot of salt and time in the office...."Read the full review
Amazing boots from an amazing Indian shoemaker
BLKBRD Rudiger Service Boot in Horween Natural ChromexcelBy SkoBuffs23 • April 5, 2024"I wore my boots out on adventures with my wife and dog hiking. I also wore them into the office and any time there wasn’t snow or ice. Unfortunately we had a bad winter in Colorado so I wasn’t able to wear them more...."Read the full review
How do I put in the headline? Anyway...I wore these as my weekenders and daily evenings.
Oak Street Bootmakers Trench Boot in Horween Natural ChromexcelBy twigglekitty73 • April 2, 2024"I wore them as often as I could. Mostly to walk the dog on concrete sidewalks. I work construction during the day, so they were weekend and evening boots. They weren't made for winter, so I gave them a rest on as now and slushy days...."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
These boots were deceptively comfortable right out the gate and always improved.
Nicks DomePro in Horween British Tan ChromexcelBy PLopez578 • April 5, 2024"Unfortunately not as much as I would have liked as I have to wear different foot wear for work. So some office work. Recreational time and light work around the house...."Read the full review
