Easy to wear in any occasion, easy to break in, and as comfortable as any other boot I’ve had.
Sagara Boondocker in Horween Black Waxed FleshBy the_duke • April 3, 2024"I genuinely worn them nearly every day. I work in an office and out and about but not in any real rugged environment, more a city dweller. 8 - 10 hours a day. They’ve also been worn on weekends to watch the football and nights out on the beer! Amazingly without trying they’ve never really seen rough weather which is ironic as that’s mostly why I went with waxed vs regular roughout!..."Read the full review

I am loving how heavy and sturdy the boots are feeling. The leather is quite thick. Still wearing in

These were a combination of style and comfort.
Wesco Boss Engineer Boot in Horween Brown ChromexcelBy nathanjcreel • April 1, 2024"I wore these at work almost exclusively for five months. I could wear them almost continuously for over 24 hours frequently. I wore them approximately 6 to 7 days a week. The ability to slip them on and off was paramount. The custom sizing was not perfect, but worked relatively well.I work as a trauma surgeon, and was able to clean these off without too much difficulty...."Read the full review

Chonky, comfortable, go anywhere, do anything boots.
Nicks Free Range in Horween Black Teacore ChromexcelBy cows_electronico • April 5, 2025"I have worn them almost every day for six months. The first day of wear included their first of several multi-hour hour airplane rides - they even made it unscathed on foot through the precheck security screening. I wore them to business casual meetings. I walked about 4 city miles every day and they loved pavement pounding. I pulled my kiddo through many museums in them. They were great in the rain and decent in the snow - though different soles would be better on ice. They were perfect hiking in the woods. They scrambled well on rocks. They were surprisingly good boots for snowshoeing. I had better than expected ball control kicking around a soccer ball in them.
There were very few occasions where I did not want to wear them. Once on foot, these chonky boys were wonderful. These boots were made for walkin, and that's just what they did...."Read the full review

A pair of brown leather shoes, serially underestimated.
Alden Plain Toe Blucher in Horween Brown ChromexcelBy SierraLizard • April 4, 2025"I’ve worn these shoes primarily in sunny Southern California, where the low cut let my ankles breathe and the leather soles kept my feet comfortable. They were part of a routine that included desk job weekdays, nights at bars and events and weekend getaways to the mountains, the beach and cross-country trips...."Read the full review
Stylish. Comfortable. What's not to love?
Eastman Leather Tanker Boots in Horween Havana Burnished RoughoutBy WeibullFighter • April 4, 2025"I've worn these everywhere I go. They are dressy enough to wear to the office with a pair of pants long enough to cover the straps. I've worn them while traveling -- the strap system makes them very easy to take on and off at airports. I've been hiking in these (also while traveling). I wear them on the weekends when hanging out around the house, shopping, or going to shows. These boots are suitable for most activities, and I can walk miles in them without any discomfort...."Read the full review

These 100% US-made boots are going to last me years upon years.
Nicks Handmade Boots 365 Stitchdown MTO in Horween Black ChromexcelBy domestictourist • March 10, 2025"I wear these mostly on soft ground, more than concrete. In a vehicle with them a lot, which might as well be an office considering how little they get scuffed in there. They’ve gotten thoroughly soaked quite a bit, have been through three snows, and gotten muddy a lot. I am wearing them daily and brushing them daily for the first 6 months of wear, and lightly oiling once per month for the first 6 months too...."Read the full review

Viberg Service Boot in Horween English Tan CypressBy demko • April 1, 2024"I wore these boots everywhere. I work in a machine shop so they saw the most wear time there. Lots of casual wear, and slightly dressed up for trade shows. Also, a lot of dog walks...."Read the full review
