TOP 5 in China Patina competition & nothing in thunderdome
Flame Panda Monkey Boot in Tochigi Natural Cowhide & Maryam Natural HorsebuttBy mk_alexchong • April 1, 2024"In Malaysia, we don’t have 4 seasons. But we do have sunny season, rain season and heavy rain season. I am not saying we got an extreme weather here, and I working in a restaurant/cafe as a barista here. Mostly works indoor, walking on average 4.5k steps a day. There are days I been walking with my friend and have some chat, those days are about 15k steps and hours of walking non stop at the street. I got first attempt to hike with the boot for about 30min and I failed, almost fainted! But a great experience to have. I try my best not to expose to rain, there are a few times expose to water but gently...."Read the full review

Wesco Mister Lou in Maryam Natural HorsebuttBy amaru_and_crow • April 1, 2025"My daily commute takes me from the breakfast table to my garage and the most dangerous thing in encounter in my day is the wheel of my office chair. With that said these boots have traveled the Americas crossing the equator about 4 times including walks in a few Andrea cities. These certainly have a bit of that TSA patina...."Read the full review

Thursday Black Label Challenger in Maryam Natural Horsebutt Overdyed BlackBy indi.raw.oninsb • November 1, 2024"Worn daily to work 8-12hrs a day. I work in a brewery so my boots get wet every day, get exposed to chemicals, and can get filthy with grit and grime. I tend to move/kick things around a lot or use my feet to hold doors or what have you. I have also worn them for general leisure and for stomping the faire grounds at TRF...."Read the full review

Willie's Handmade Boots Pioneer Lace To Toe in Maryam Toscanello TPR HorsebuttBy AlManuel • April 3, 2026"I’m a fourth grade teacher who rides motorcycles daily. I knew I needed a boot that was durable enough to ride with and looked good at work. All the patina and scarring are the results of daily rides and working on my feet all day. Throw in some daily walks through the neighborhood and a few trips and they are the worn beauties you see before you. Yes they set off a few TSA lines and were the subject of numerous questions by my students, but these six months were a blast...."Read the full review
