First Impressions
John Lofgren El Capitan in Horween Black ChromexcelBy gameofdrones • February 16, 2025"One day of walking around town on paved surfaces. The Vibram sole gives just enough impact absorption compared to an old pair of Frye boots with Oilite “cork” soles that are super rigid.
The vamp is just starting to crease. I’m still babying it, not flexing it too much...."Read the full review

Worth the hype
John Lofgren Ludlow Boots in Shinki Timber Oiled HorsebuttBy Stuville77 • April 6, 2024"Always apprehensive when buy boots at this price point over the internet. They showed up and I was quickly put at ease.
The box and packaging is impeccable. I pulled them out of the gorgeous bag and slid it on my foot. I was giddy. Never had a boot fit me so well and looked so sharp. They are a piece of art...."Read the full review
Boots from a dream - made me rethink what I enjoy in shoes
John Lofgren M-43 Service Shoes in Shinki Black Teacore HorsebuttBy xb • April 15, 2024"I think I am sold on JL boots and tea core horsehide however I am unsure of if this boot makeup was right for me as a forever or everyday boot. My thunderdome with these boots was a very reflective experience and left me wondering if I could ever whittle down my collection to just a few pairs or if I prefer having a range of selections to rotate between. Part of me still wants the single pair of black boots that I can wear all of the time, these boots were very close for me but I am left still wondering if some tweaks would have made me fully commit to a single footwear uniform.
Either way, i would strongly recommend these boots and this makeup. Despite my personal indecision I feel strongly that nearly all aspects of these boots are objectively incredible. Wearing a boot this beautiful was a great pleasure and getting to ponder where my boot interests lie while wearing them was a wonderful experience...."Read the full review
Beautiful based black boots baby!
John Lofgren M-43 Service Shoes in Shinki Black Teacore HorsebuttBy paoaboot • April 2, 2024"I wore my boots as often as I could in a way that would incorporate them as I would normally go about my life. Being in in a walkable neighborhood, they were with me in countless trips the grocery, library, barbershop, park, laundromat, bank, hardware store, restaurants, office, and (my favorite) when I would take a walk after dinner. As for special occasions, the first week of wear coincided with the first time my mom visited from the Philippines so I broke in the boots showing her around San Francisco. I was also fortunate enough to take the boots to Providence in the winter where my wife had a grad school residency. There was no snow but it was cool to walk around a new city that had an old world feel to it...."Read the full review
