Reviews

These boots are what make the stitchdown community great, I purchased these from another SDP member.

I have thoroughly enjoyed these boots, and they represent the best of the SDP community. I wanted to try them out and get a boondocker style. However, John Lofgren boots are not cheap when new. As such being able to buy these at a reasonable price from another SDP member, made the investment entirely worth it. Would I have bought them new knowing what I know now after wearing them. Maybe, it is a lot of money for a casual boot, but luckily I got these already and they will last me a very long time.
