First Impressions
John Lofgren El Capitan in Horween Black ChromexcelBy gameofdrones • February 16, 2025"One day of walking around town on paved surfaces. The Vibram sole gives just enough impact absorption compared to an old pair of Frye boots with Oilite “cork” soles that are super rigid.
The vamp is just starting to crease. I’m still babying it, not flexing it too much...."Read the full review

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

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
