Great boot and great leather. Manageable break in. Easy to dress up.
Grant Stone Brass Boot in Horween Dune ChromexcelBy AFrat • February 20, 2025"Daily wear working with a general contractor. Lots of walking, stairs and some ladders. Many miles on concrete...."Read the full review
Hard wearing leather on a great looking boot.
Wesco Standard And Strange Collab: The Quick Striker in Horween Olive Waxed FleshBy DaveWilkes • April 6, 2025"I wore these boots in all conditions, almost every day for the entire six months of the Dome competition. Inside, outside, office work, dock work, and casually everywhere...."Read the full review
I couldn’t be happier with these boots - they’re everything I envisioned + more. They feel amazing.
Al's Attire Hand Made Type 1 Service Boot in Horween Brown Chromexcel HorsehideBy LeeRoss • November 30, 2024"Since the day I started wearing these boots, they’ve been my go-to for everything except workouts. Whether I’m in the office, on job sites, or out and about, these boots are always on my feet. Comfortable, durable, and stylish—they’re perfect for every occasion. In fact, I got tons of compliments at the F1 race in Las Vegas last weekend...."Read the full review
A deeper appreciation for a GYW boot!
Grant Stone Nora Boot in Horween Dune ChromexcelBy litespeedd • April 1, 2025"I’ve worn my Nora boots almost every day since I started the Dome. At the office, on my walks with my dog, and on errand days! They have seen 3 seasons in NYC - fall, winter, and spring, rain or shine...."Read the full review
This pair is my best fitting pair by far. I finally have my personal last completely dialed in.

A "soft toe" from Nicks.
Nicks x Rose Anvil ND3 in Horween Brown Waxed Flesh & Seidel 1964 Brown SmoothBy cjelliott • April 4, 2025"I work at a bakery and most of my working day is spent slinging drinks and serving food so my boots see a lot of chemicals, syrups, natural dyes like matcha and turmeric, and bleach. The lighter weight build has helped me keep up with the fast-paced environment and given me peace of mind when it comes to dropping drinks or things on my feet. I've taken the boots to the family homestead in the Raneer foothills, walked with the slugs and moose in the local wildlife parks, hiked with my dog Remi at the PNW famous Bowl and Pitcher trail and trenched through snow during the longer winter this year...."Read the full review
These puppies were stiff and painful for too long. Now, they are like a comfy pair of socks.
Viberg Hiker in Horween Natural DublinBy Das_Bones • April 4, 2024"At the 3 month mark, I could finally start putting miles on these boots. They truly can be, and at least in my case, are now real hiking boots. 30+ miles a week for the last 2 months, holding up against my river adjacent, multi-terrain, trail blazing. Durability-wise, I am very impressed. I have much experience tearing through hiking boots, and these things put to shame some of the best cemented hikers on the market (I won't name names...) The Hiker just keeps pushing, and the Commando soles are straight beasts!..."Read the full review
The last 6 months have been a blast! It has gone by way too fast. 🤙
White's x Division Road LTT Logger 375 in Horween Black Waxed Flesh & Horween Natural ChromexcelBy a1moyer • April 3, 2024"I wore this pair primarily for work as a UPS package car driver. 📦
I did wear them to church on the weekends every once in a while and did a couple hikes in Forest Park.
Portland is a pretty wet city in the winter so they saw a lot of rainy days and puddle jumping. They spent most of their time in SE Portland neighborhoods.
My supervisor crunched a few numbers for me and found that I *average* around 3500 deliveries/pickups a month.
That breaks down to about 175 stops a day, some days more, some days less...depending on the time of year and route. These boots were on my feet for most of those deliveries. They did get a short break during the snow/ice storm...needed to bust out the V100 soled boots for those days.
These boots have almost pure package car driver patina. 😂 In and out of the truck, driving from stop to stop, organizing/selecting packages in the back and making the deliveries. 🤙..."Read the full review
Viberg Waxed Flesh
Viberg Service Boot in Horween Brown Waxed FleshBy amvoith • April 8, 2024"Worn quite a lot around the house and farm. I've got an older pair of Viberg Engineers that are made with natural waxed flesh so I knew they could withstand the conditions...."Read the full review
Amazing fit and pattern built to a high standard. Very happy.
Willie's Handmade Boots Engineer in Horween Brown ChromexcelBy the_duke • April 5, 2025"My work involves office duties and a lot of driving. Not much in the way of walking. These were worn for work and general day to day family life...."Read the full review

Best boots I ever had!
Frank's Monkey Boot in Horween Natural ChromexcelBy Thomas_Steed_ • April 1, 2025"These dogs have seen everything an Idaho winter and an active disc golfing, strength training, and power lifter, could throw at them without abusing them. We're talking snow, rain, salt, sweat, and mud. Miles of walking and hours upon hours of gym time. They've been the victim of a few toe draggs on my distance drives on the course and saw full-time time hours on concrete floors while I was throwing freight for winco, conditioned twice in the entire span of the thunderdome with bick 4, and they still ain't even close to a resole yet!..."Read the full review
One of the best boot leathers ever!
Viberg Service Boot BCT in Horween Natural Crust Double CordovanBy PatinaTurner • April 3, 2024"Not even sure they are broken in yet. The leather is so thick they barely show rolls but are surprisingly comfortable...."Read the full review
These boots changed my life.
Oldspeed Service Boot 6” in Horween Tan LatigoBy davecorey • April 5, 2024"The vast majority of the time I spent in these boots over the last 6 months has been in the cobbler shop at Pilgrim Shoe Repair, where I’ve been refining this pattern and others, shaping new lasts, and of course repairing a lot of shoes. Outside of that these shoes have been through snowstorms, rain, sand, and even the X Ray machine at Philadelphia International. They have had no failures in this time...."Read the full review
