Horse and Jakkrabbits!
Jakkrabbits Monkey Boot in Maryam Olive HorsebuttBy hosekileather • April 1, 2025"These were worn daily from fall through spring. They creaked like hell at first and took a good month of wear before they softened up. I wore these to work, walking on grass, pavement, asphalt, gravel, a dirty shop through snow, rain, -40C and they never failed or got soaked through. The maryam horsebutt is tough stuff. I went for lunches, dinners and ran errands in them It wasnt until the last few weeks that the teacore of this olive leather started to wear through. They still creak, just less loud...."Read the full review
Jakk in the box
Jakkrabbits Monkey Boot in Maryam Olive HorsebuttBy hosekileather • November 5, 2024"These boots have TRAVELLED quite a few miles. As an ops manager, I log a lot of foot time on site, in the office and going in between on the motorcycle. Now that the weather has cooled off, its more truck time and less bike :-( but the snow to come will definitely change them again...."Read the full review
Although I actually wanted the 206 last I really am enjoying these!
Flame Panda Chukkas in Maryam Natural Horsebutt Overdyed Brown then BlackBy Sips • December 29, 2024"I’ve been wearing the shoes almost every day since the beginning of the dome, except for the one week we had snow, and I’ve averaged over 12k steps a day. Although I switch to Birkenstocks at the studio and trainers for my workouts, I probably average more than 6k steps in them on a daily basis...."Read the full review

Hard-wearing MHB Parkhurst boots that just go anywhere
Parkhurst The Richmond in Maryam Bruciato TPR HorsebuttBy burrinboots • April 6, 2026"Over the last six months I wore my Parkhurst TPR Bruciato Richmond boots everywhere, to work, to the grocery store, family trip in Florida, or Christmas in snowy Iowa. These boots handled it all. To be fair, even with the TPR infusion in the leather, on super rainy days, I would fall back to my waxed boots or my Goretex. Otherwise, whether it was cool, hot, mildly humid, or very dry, these boots were on my feet and they looked great the whole time...."Read the full review

Indo Superstar
Sagara Cordmaster in Maryam Natural HorsebuttBy niku • April 3, 2026"Mostly worn as a daily activity boot, nothing too crazy and not in extreme conditions. Lots of brushing as well. During the dome it got rained on a couple times and I think that eventually darkened them a bit but I like the gradations that came in because of the more normal wear...."Read the full review

True Love!
Wesco Mister Lou in Maryam Natural HorsebuttBy kungfubeach • April 6, 2026"There are many Mr Lou boots but I am confident this is the only pair that has been to the bottom of a trout hatchery raceway. I had zero experience with natural leather boots so I was babying these with walks to and from the office until I fell in chasing an angry toddler’s thrown sippy cup. After that introduced some fascinating stains and patterns it was off to the races- these have busted through snow at 7,000 feet and soaked by a hose-happy toddler multiple times. These took me to casinos, logging conferences, daycare walks, office meetings, back country road trips, wildlife photography expeditions, Christmas and Thanksgiving dinners, trips across 4 different Sierra passes, and dozens of family walks. I took these on steeper and rougher ground than I’ve ever worn engineer boots and they were fantastic every time..."Read the full review
Addicted to Addicts
Addict Boots AB-01 Engineer Boots in Maryam Black Teacore HorsebuttBy austinrylees • April 6, 2026"I am living in Arizona and work in a clinic for young kids. My job requires me to sometimes get down on the floor and play with the littles, jump around, take the on strolls to the park and play chase occasionally. Most of the time is just me walking around while typing notes in my laptop. So, my Addicts have been in that mostly office environment but have also weather the occasional outdoor walk, or very occasional garden project. I try to limit the use of “work” category projects and would don my 10875s for those. I wanted to be intentional, take care of my boots, push them appropriately and not baby them. They got to assist me in clearing tree debris, digging a hole for a few small trees and even making a pick up game of basketball but never overtly pushed for the explicit gain of forced patina...."Read the full review
