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

The best daily boot that didn't fit...
Viberg Service Boot BCT in Maryam Port 1071 HorsebuttBy timelesstough • April 6, 2024"My boots have been with me 3-5 days a week through everything. They've been with me through office work, yard work, the delivery of my fifth child, and the death of my dog.
I often struggle to find boots that I can both wear to the office and running late night errands in sweatpants. These boots fit the bill...."Read the full review
Just love my hand-made Service Boot in Horsebutt, and watching the character develop every day.

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
A Journey with my Perfect Pair
Nicks Becca in Horween Natural DublinBy sawdustandstitch • April 5, 2024"These boots have seen it all - the grind of home office days to the escapades of work trips and vacations. They've braved the chaos of DIY projects and the meticulous craft of woodworking projects. But the true test? The day they supported me as I welcomed my firstborn into the world. These boots hold memories I'll treasure forever...."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
Halfway broken in!
Nicks x Rose Anvil ND3 in Horween Brown Waxed Flesh & Seidel 1964 Brown SmoothBy cjelliott • March 22, 2025"These are my daily boots, mainly at work where anything from bleach to carrot cake can end up on them. I manage a bakery/Coffee shop and spend most of my time on bar or making items. The snow in my area often didn't cause any issues with these, they are essentially water resistant with all the wax. They have gone on many dog walks and wooded trails near my home...."Read the full review
Brian is unbeatable for timeless boots with a notable vintage American rebel bravado.
Role Club Engineer Boots in Horween Black Chromexcel HorsehideBy PatinaTechnodrome • April 6, 2024"I wore them for almost every single thing I did save going to the gym.. I even trudged in some streams with them and the cxl hh laughed in the face of everything I threw at it. How versatile such a distinct and some would say archaic boy can be if subjecting, I suppose, but I found myself wearing these everywhere from the park, to bars, to the river, to real estate shooting ( after a quick condition and brush) and got inquiries and compliments in almost setting. Brian’s design really is so eye catching that it intrigued people from all walks of life.
There are also always on my feet when I have had the pleasure of being able accompany him in his in his shop and watch him work and learn from him. They have become a representation of my bootmaking journey and the finish line, excellence I will always strive to match as I move forward in learning this timeless rarified craft. With these boots from Brian, I’ve also been honored to be able to purchase his original singer post machine from 1910 and his original sander,(and soon his original landis stitcher,) keeping his original bootmaking machine family together to make a new generation of boots by my hands. I will look to these boots and measure everything I make on these machines to them, striving to live up to their legacy...."Read the full review
