Great boots by a great maker
NF Bootmaker Fritz Boot in Tempesti Baku & Horween Tumbled Black ChromexcelBy endlessmike • April 1, 2024"Break-in was minimal. The leather is very soft and flexible. It's a veg tan so it got conditioner a couple times over the course of this (most recently a month ago), but beyond that, just frequent brushing. It darkened some, but mostly just held up nicely...."Read the full review
One Boots to do it All
Viberg Boondocker in Horween Natural Chromexcel RoughoutBy yuswang • April 6, 2024"The horween rough out leather is soft, flexible and also breathable. I can see why people call that leather socks. And It's getting better and better after It break in. Especially after those oil and mud from my car, factories, dog parks and trail, color and rough-out surface starting to change rapidly after 3 months. Don't give wrong, I do like different type of leathers but I would like choose this type of leather as a daily driver...."Read the full review
Overall these have been awesome boots.
Viberg Service Boot in Horween Natural ChromexcelBy Rob • April 5, 2024"These took a bit to mold to my foot, but have become comfortable with use. I haven’t conditioned or polished them, other than a bit of VSC after using vinegar once to remove salt stains. I let them sit to dry completely when they’ve been soaked through. They’ve darkened a bit with use, and have some scarring from my office chair, rocks, and dog claws...."Read the full review
Great last, Great leather, Fun Journey
Oak Street Bootmakers Field Boot in Horween Natural ChromexcelBy polishengineering • April 5, 2024"I was in this for the leather, and it didn't disappoint. Great patina. Still amazed how much a good brush does for this leather. Only lightly condition the creases a few times to keep them flexible during break in...."Read the full review
This is the end of the beginning

That's a wrap! What an amazing pair of boots and what an awesome experience!!
Nicks Urban Logger in Horween Natural ChromexcelBy yorkpahomes • April 5, 2024"When I first started wearing the boots I was unsure what to expect. The leather was thicker and heavier than any other leather I had worn before and once received the color was more muted than I expected when I ordered them . The patina was slow to change and then it happened. I wore them several times in the snow and salt and they needed a serious cleaning and conditioning. I gave them a good scrub with Lexol and massaged in some Bick 4 conditioner. Over the next 2 weeks following the cleaning and conditioning the color began to pop. In the end I couldn't have been more surprised and more amazed by the color change. With the gum colored soles and natural edges they really needed to darken up to provide that contrast needed to make a sharp pair of boots and they didn't disappoint. Throughout the 6 months they were brushed every evening. They were cleaned with Lexol 3 times and conditioned with Bick 4 five times. The break in was pretty much painless and easier than expected after trying them on the first time. The boots were worn hard, 14 hours or more each day and they held up well...."Read the full review
