Quality adventure boots
BLKBRD Luchador Service Boot in Horween Natural ChromexcelBy fieldlaf • April 3, 2024"My boots have hiked in various terrain from the rolling hills of Kentucky to the desert and mountains of New Mexico. They’ve been my everyday pair working from home and my weekend pair doing chores around the yard. Blkbrd’s site says these are made to be worn rough, and I believe it. I wanted a pair of boots that could transition from the woods to casual dining with ease, and these have more than accomplished that goal...."Read the full review
Weekend Warriors Just Getting Good
Nicks MTO in Horween Tan Waxed FleshBy Bigcountrybonsai • April 4, 2024"These boots became my after work and weekend boots that I regretfully didn’t get to wear everyday. Being in a clinic setting for work I felt I couldn’t pull these off with scrubs so I tried to wear them as often as possible and I knew I had a lot of work ahead of me if I wanted to have any contention in the work dome. During my off time I like to be outside and doing more physical work in general because it offers a bit of release from the mental fatigue of my profession. These boots served me well during various tasks and I feel like they’re just getting good. Some of the activities included splitting wood for barbecue and the fireplace, hiking into the wilderness to collect yamadori for bonsai, splitting and shaping staves of Osage orange in order to make hunting bows and just general yard work. They saw wind, rain, sand, mud, rocks, and wood. The only thing missing was fire...."Read the full review

Nicks Urban Logger in Horween Brown Waxed FleshBy sigben59 • April 7, 2024"These Urban Loggers have become an everyday wear pair of shoes for me. I wear them most days to the office, buying groceries, stomping around the playground with my toddler.

From the First to the Last
Grant Stone Cap Toe Boot in Horween Crimson ChromexcelBy _cryptid_jack • April 1, 2024"I started my first two months wearing them every day straight with only Sundays being the day they weren’t worn, as it was a day off work where I didn’t have any plans to leave the house. My job is retail, suit shop, carpet and concrete, lots of stretching and bending and moving carts and racks of clothes around. I’d say it’s a fairly active environment, I don’t sit often, in fact often I’m speed walking all day haha! I’ve also worn them on dates with my wife! I’d say the average wardrobe they’re paired with would be smart chinos, shirt and tie, and tweed blazer, but occasionally shined and conditioned to be worn with a navy suit. I often don’t think about trying to keep my shoes clean or clear from debris so scuffs and scrapes happen regularly. After that first two month period the rubber delaminated at the toes which caught me off guard but otherwise everything about the shoes has held up tremendously. Although, whether it’s my lifestyle or perhaps a touch of rough metal in an eyelet, I’ve gone through shoelaces like mad and am on my 4th pair. I wore them in blizzard white out conditions, heavy rain, and long hours in the sunlight, as well as inside at my job under the fluorescent bulbs. All in all these are now the boots my work colleagues associate with me, and I know they’re gonna be a part of my life for a very long time!..."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
