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
First low-heeled heritage boots
Nicks MTO in Horween Black Waxed FleshBy Maduro355 • April 6, 2025"Worn mostly to work and for trail hikes. 6” height is flexible, but lacks 8” ankle support. Vibram 430 outsole offered better wet weather traction than my V100s and trap less dirt. Wide welt protected the upper from excessive abrasions...."Read the full review

BLKBRD Bulwark Trek Boot in Horween Natural ChromexcelBy technolounge1001 • April 2, 2024"This boot I have been using for commute to work in Boston, and many times continued it with dress in office as well. It felt good with dress pants as well, probably due to comfort.
Have used these boots for outside travel, blowing leafs in fall, plowing snow in storms, and recently built a whole fire pit with seating area in my backyard with these boots...."Read the full review
Honestly if you want these, get them from OSB

Viberg Service Boot in Horween Brown Waxed FleshBy selvedge_and_welted • April 4, 2024"I have mostly used them for everyday living running errands and doing housework like gardening and other activities.

Comfy office mocs.
Quoddy Blucher in Horween Natural ChromexcelBy cows_electronico • April 5, 2025"I bought these shoes to be my primary pair of shoes to pad around the office in. Not exactly heavy use or deer stalking, but incredibly comfortable for daily wear. I roll into the office, put on a sweater, and switch into my mocs - in true Mr Roger's style. Extremely comfortable, and good looking to boot!..."Read the full review
Casual but well made, replaceable soles, and patina hungry shoes for in between boots? Found em!
Oak Street Bootmakers Country Loafer in Horween Natural Chromexcel RoughoutBy missouridenimdad • April 6, 2025"These country loafers were on my feet any time I was not sleeping or didn’t have my other dome pair on. They saw work, casual, house shoe responsibilities, snow, rain, playtime, dad life, and so much more! Oh I forgot, did I mention they saw a lot of indigo from jeans cuffs??? 😂🫣..."Read the full review
