Rediscovering my love for these boots
Grant Stone Diesel Boot in Horween Dune ChromexcelBy drew_15 • April 6, 2026"I wore these boots to the office, to do yard work, garage work, chopping wood, and drumming at my church. I felt the microstud sole held them back from “true” boot activities, as at times they felt more like dress shoes. But nevertheless they never let me down..."Read the full review
The last boots you’ll ever need to buy. The boots you want to buy more than once.
Nicks Packer in Horween Black ChromexcelBy renee2day • April 6, 2026"I’m a professional dog walker, and these boots have been my reliable companions for six months through the full winter of the Pacific Northwest. They’ve endured two atmospheric river events, soggy trails, some snow, and all kinds of mud, keeping my legs dry and warm throughout.
I’ve taken about 1,358,836 steps, covering roughly 599 miles, and have worn these boots nearly every day for most of that distance.
I’ve worn them either under or over corduroy or denim jeans, depending on whether I could pull the pant leg over the boot top.
When not working, I paired them with a corduroy skirt or dressed them up with black tights and a turtleneck sweater dress. They’ve received compliments everywhere — on the trail and off...."Read the full review
Walking through the world with supple leather lightly wrapped around your feet? I love CXL mocs.
Rancourt & Co. Harrison Boot Redux in Horween Natural ChromexcelBy cows_electronico • April 5, 2026"They have been my constant companion for the past six months. They have joined me almost every day at work, tromped through the woods, kept my feet surprisingly warm in the snow, and joined me in all of my travels. Have they been the best option for all of my use? No. Have they been a reasonable option for everything I threw at them? Surprisingly, yes...."Read the full review

No better shoe for when your boots are off and you don’t like being barefoot

Well for two years really, but for the sake of this dome six months...."Read the full review
These boots handled everything I threw at them and they still came out looking beautiful.
Nicks Falcon in Horween Brown Waxed FleshBy Gauffrier • April 4, 2026"In only a few months, these boots have been through an incredible amount of abuse across three continents. From Arctic snow to humid swamps and African sand to volcanic mud. I took them hiking often, the V-Bar sole provided a surprising amount of traction considering their design. Despite the abuse I was able to clean them up and wear them to the office or out to dinner. I even wore them through the airport and received comments from security staff every time I had to take them off (they were always shocked by the weight and how many nails were in them). These boots are comfortable in any situation and the leather can handle whatever you need it to, I'll be keeping these around for many years even though I do wish I got them one size wider...."Read the full review

Solid boots
Tricker's Churchill in Horween Natural DublinBy claus • April 3, 2026"Just regular office work, walking the dog, cycling around. We had a lot of snow in January and the dainite soles were not up to the task at all. Had a couple of deep gashes on the left boot from a sharp edge on my bike stand. Sad, but they thankfully didn’t seem to affect weather protection too much...."Read the full review

Imperfectly Perfect
Truman Plain Toe Boot in Black TeacoreBy TheRuggedRounder • April 2, 2026"I wore these boots hard almost daily for 6 months. I work long hours in a hospital setting, rounding on hospitalized patients on multilevel floors and I rarely use the elevator. These boots have witnessed human suffering, grief, triumph and everything in between. It has witnessed my own highs and lows as well.
We also played harder. On day offs, I wear them at home as I do my destress with my hobbies involving sewing, gardening and home restorations. I brought them traveling as well: A tour of parts Europe while on a Danube river cruise. It has traversed on cobblestones alleys and streets in Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Cesky Krumlov, Passau, Regensburg and even parts of London, most especially the Windsor castle. It has traveled to the Philippines as well where it has visited the shoe capital of the country (Marikina), the presidential palace, and some world war 2 historical places as well.
While in the US, it has experienced a snowy hike up Mount Charleston in Nevada, walked the beaches of LA and of course it has been all over Las Vegas where it calls its home...."Read the full review
