"If I buy you these boots for an early xmas gift, will you wear them for 6 months?" -Me to my dad
Grant Stone Diesel Boot in Horween Crimson ChromexcelBy uriandries • April 6, 2024"They were largely worn working retail, so lots of time standing and walking, but also a good handful of wilderness hikes around mid Michigan. Our winter here was pretty gentle this year, but they certainly went through plenty of snow and puddles...."Read the full review
I was a bit trepedacious about spending so much on boots and them not fitting right.
Nicks DomePro in Horween British Tan ChromexcelBy fozzie_the_bear • April 4, 2024"I have worn my boots almost exclusively during the last 6months. From the snow covered Sierra's to the Mojave Desert and just about everywhere in between these boots have kept my feet in excellent condition. Wether hiking, commuting, walking around the Las Vegas strip, grocery shopping or dinner with the wife, my NICKS have taken me there in style...."Read the full review
This leather is tough as nails!
Viberg Service Boot BCT in Horween Natural Crust Double CordovanBy CellBlaster • April 6, 2024"This pair wasn’t really suited to the vibe of my workplace. I still wore it a few times a week to the office, and tried to wear them as much as possible on weekends, which usually involved coffee runs and intense playground action with my one year old...."Read the full review

These boots reminded me why it is so important to WEAR YOUR BOOTS!
Jamvaida Japanese Moc Toe in Horween Olive ChromexcelBy cgbaird2 • April 3, 2024"I wore these in the "work from home dome," which means I wore them with sweatpants and shorts a lot of days. Lots of walks and hikes, and used for climbing the stairs in our condo building. I really did wear them nearly every day for the first 3 or so months. Then, rotated one or 2 days a week in the dead of winter...."Read the full review
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

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
