Engineering a New Style
Wesco Mister Lou in Horween Black Chromexcel HorsehideBy chromepak.jack • April 5, 2024"Done a lot of walking, a bit of cycling(!) and also a good deal of sitting and rubbing against chair legs 🙃
Really enjoyed the few gentle hikes I took in the fall wearing these boots. The heel height made the inclines feel more manageable.
The height of the shaft was great in the few monster snow dumps we got this year...."Read the full review
Solid dress boot!

Grant Stone Brass Boot in Horween Color 8 ChromexcelBy harshhappens • April 2, 2024"Lots of casual outings- bars, hikes, concerts, etc. They've seen a fair amount of rain, snow, creeks, rivers...."Read the full review
Durable, versatile boot in "rare shell" that doesn't seem to age at all. A boot for all occasions.
Grant Stone Brass Boot in Horween Garnet Shell CordovanBy LouisvilleLeatherGuy • April 6, 2024"I have worn them in small gravel and dirt trails. Manual labor with often 15k+ steps a day on carpet, concrete, and pavement. Heavy lifting and crouched/on my knees. Urban travel in rain and snow. Extreme cold with thick socks, and warm outdoor work with lots of sweat...."Read the full review
How to headline? I wore these for commercial construction 5-6 days a week.
Wesco Mister Lou in Horween Black Chromexcel HorsehideBy twigglekitty73 • April 2, 2024"I wore them as a foreman on multiple construction sites. I didn't get them into the mess as much as other working folks, but they were out there on site doing things. They saw a bit of moisture and mud here and there. It was more dust and dirt than anything...."Read the full review
Julian Boots! Custom Pattern & Last
Julian Boots Madison in Horween Bourbon Shell CordovanBy tlmader • March 31, 2024"I wore my pair throughout my travels in Ciudad de México. They were worn at various coffee shops, record bars, and beer tasting rooms while I coded Patina Project.

I have a love / hate relationship with these boots

These are not snow boots.
Oak Street Bootmakers Camp Boot in Horween Natural ChromexcelBy up2in2 • April 6, 2024"I have worn these camp boots in my leisure time. They have been just the ticket walking along river banks and the seashore. I have done yard work in them, and worn them around the docks at my rowing club. I have also worn them for day trips into NYC. They are not fancy, and I could only wear them to my workplace on the occasional days when office attire wasn’t expected. Cold, wet winter weather isn’t where these boots shine: This was not a surprise. But we had a fairly mild winter, and I was still able to wear them with pleasure every week. I will likely get at least as much wear from these in the upcoming 6 months as I have in the past 6 months...."Read the full review
Versatile, rugged boots that look almost as good as they feel on my feet!
White's MP-M1TC in Horween Black Waxed FleshBy MagicBeardMan86 • April 8, 2024"These have seen it all. I wear them to the office, out in the shop, to church, running errands. I've gone hiking and hunting in these boots, been on a few search and rescue operations, walked in the snow and rain, performed yard work, very light duty forestry...."Read the full review
Unlined is DEFINITELY the way to go!
Quoddy Blucher in Horween Olive ChromexcelBy MagicBeardMan86 • April 3, 2024"I wore these to the office daily, on a trip to visit family and friends, out and about for daily activities and errands. They saw sun, rain, and snow. They trod carpet, tile, and wood; pavement and blacktop; grass and dirt. They were not spared or babied!..."Read the full review
Great casual boot that can take a beating with interesting patina potential
Viberg Scout Boot in Horween Rowdy DachshundBy pesayerm • April 5, 2024"I’ve worn these boots in essentially every situation and environment I typically experience. I wore them to work/client meetings early on, wore them on hikes, snowy and rainy dog walks, stepped on my toddlers in the mud. They held up great throughout. Because of the extreme pull-up and patina Rowdy Dachshund takes on, I’d say beyond 2 months in, the leather wasn’t quite as suitable for more formal situations like client meetings...."Read the full review
Quality is a mix of ruggedness and refinement. Style is timeless and classy. Comfort is a commitment
