Im new to boots and I've been wanting to experience the Thunderdome since I first saw the winners video last year. This pair's color choice was inspired by my old blue Adidas Spezial which I wore in the early 2010s. I wanted a casual pair that would support a monochromatic look since I wear blue jeans almost all the time. Since I started watching boot videos and developed my taste on boots, I have always liked the Red Wing Iron Ranger. Most Iron Ranger reviews would say the breakin and soles are really tough, so I thought of using a wedge sole. Ticho's soiled diaper comparison really set me back from this decision for at least a month. I just thought real hard and came to the conclusion that soiled diapers might actually be a comfy outsole and that Im curious to try it. i can now say that walking on soiled diapers are comfy as hell. Along with my 2 best friends since grade school, we all had boots made by Willie with the same navy chromexcel leather. They didn't join but I got Willie to join the Dome. Yes, that was all me. 😁
