Unsung House Desert Fever Engineer: A Stunning Example of How Engineers Should Be Made

Worn solely for the entirety of the Dome. Worn them on top of mountains, hiking trails, fishing, construction sites, out shooting, to the office, on errands, really anytime I’m outside these are on foot! Worn when I went to install Starlink devices for the US Forest Service. Usually they are on top of mountains or on the base of the mountain.

More about this item

Followed their recommended sizing and they fit perfectly. Most comfortable boots I have ever worn. After wearing them a couple months, I have noticed a few issues. The sole separates at the half sole where it meets the midsole but before the heel. There are some divots where I think some nails should be but there are none. I have to glue it because I don’t want debris underneath the sole and potentially causing unnecessary damage. About 2.5 months in the boots started squeaking. I just put some leather conditioner on the insoles and it went away. The small leather piece that sits on the heel separated and sometimes moves around which is annoying but doesn’t really cause any problem with the boot.
Q&A

Why did you choose this item?

I loved the look of the leather and that it was different from just the standard natural leather. It has character and I like that. I also wanted to try a boot from unsung house and they did not disappoint.

What was the ordering process?

Purchased from Standard & Strange

Payed the pre order price and when the boots were ready to ship I paid the remaining balance. It was simple and easy.
