SKOOB M-43 Service Shoes

Brown Italian Horsebutt

High expectations - an even better experience. An awesome boot journey with my trusty companion

It still feels like yesterday that I first put my Skoobs on and the last six months really flew by. It was an awesome journey and a great experience I wouldn't want to miss. The boots exceeded my expectations and developed a really nice patina, while becomimg a true staple of my wardrobe and that's what they'll remain. I can recommend this brand to anyone who is interested in a high quality, classic boot and I'm sure this won't be my last pair. They aren't cheap, but that's exactly what a customer gets - a lifelong companion made by skilled craftsman.

I went half a size down from brannock. The last has quite a lot of volume in the instep area and is pretty long.

When I was looking for a boot for my first Thunderdome participation, I decided pretty fast to go with some kind of a service boot. I wanted something versatile that's makes it easy to be worn each day of the week. I work in an office environment so it had to be classic, but still rugged enough for small adventures on the weekend. Brown boots go well with pretty much everything and the potential to develop a nice patina is much higher than with black boots and since there were so many boots in natural leathers in the last Dome, I wanted to go a different route.

The ordering process was pretty straight forward. Since this one is a collaboration between Skoob and stuf|f it was pretty easy to get my hands on a pair. I'm living in Germany and it's a german shop, so shipping was fast and easy. I wasn't sure about the sizing, but they give always helpful tips and comparisons to other brands' sizing in the description.
