Transformative year, transformative pair
Wesco Mister Lou in Maryam Black HorsehideBy Deckard • April 4, 2024"Daily or near it. Some rests but these went everywhere I did: work in a clinical environment to hiking some dirt and rocky trails with my dog to playing at the park with my son and all points in between. There were no limits. Roads? Where were going we don’t need roads. Just a solid pair of engiees on our feet...."Read the full review
The best daily boot that didn't fit...
Viberg Service Boot BCT in Maryam Port 1071 HorsebuttBy timelesstough • April 6, 2024"My boots have been with me 3-5 days a week through everything. They've been with me through office work, yard work, the delivery of my fifth child, and the death of my dog.
I often struggle to find boots that I can both wear to the office and running late night errands in sweatpants. These boots fit the bill...."Read the full review
6 months in this refined and versatile engineer
Role Club Engineer Boots in Maryam Toscanello TPR HorsebuttBy BamaBoyinTx • April 5, 2025"I’ve used my Role Clubs for just about any occasion that a work boot wouldn’t quite do. The refined silhouette make them suitable for the office, for date nights, to church, and to lots of happy hours. I’ve worn them in the rain, in the snow and to the ranch. It’s really a testament to how well built these boots are that I taken them everywhere and they still look amazing. These took awhile to break in… well honestly, I feel like I am still breaking them in. But these are the type of boots that just keep getting better and will serve me for years to come. The horsehide is amazing and is such an amazing leather...."Read the full review
I should have confirmed that side zips were for me before committing to wearing them for 6 months
Viberg Side Zip in Maryam Light Grey HorsebuttBy zeroremain • April 5, 2026"I work from home so these were primarily used as neighborhood dog walking boots and travel boots. They got soaked in the rain and snow, and hiked through the foothills...."Read the full review

Blue is the new brown?
White's Bounty Hunter in Maryam Navy HorsehideBy geckotrekker • April 4, 2026"These didn’t arrive on my doorstep until November so they didn’t get to do the whole dome but 5 months of casual wear isn’t too bad. Even with thin socks they were warm enough for 30-40 degree weather. I really only wore them as city boots however...."Read the full review

To justify the cost, I knew I needed a pair of boots that were worth it. These boots are worth it.
Tahura Edulis in Maryam Natural Horsebutt & Guidi Black Reverse HorsebuttBy CowboyFriday • April 6, 2024"Opening the box had me worried. The leather was lighter than I thought it would be. The surface was already smudged by insect bites and abrasions in a couple places. I was tempted to baby these boots.
I'm glad I didn't.
For most of these boot's life, I worked at a food bank. They've have tracked through broken asphalt muck and reservation dust, and carry scratches from tumbleweed thorns. The first wear the soles got was endless trips back and forth between hard concrete and office carpet. Carrying boxes. Dragging pallets. Apparently I scuff the insides of my heels – I know there's a term for that, I've never learned it – these boots are a biography of my working life.
Later, in the early months of 2024, I transitioned to a hybrid work from home gig. I consider myself lucky and unlucky now, now. Less heavy lifting at work is a double edged sword. I hike my laptop out to parks and overlooks in these boots, to break up the monotony of the day. My boots are my companions – trusted coworkers. I hang out with them after we clock out, walk the local trail system in the evenings and watch the trees bloom into spring...."Read the full review
Stylish and tough, these boots are ready to rumble!

Handlasted this boot and ensured that footbed and soles has enough flexibility to create the rolls
Willie's Handmade Boots Boondocker in Maryam Olive HorsebuttBy William • April 4, 2024"Worn the boot almost everyday for 6 months. it has gone through rains and shallow waters, walking with my dogs around the park , rode with this on my vespa scooter and harley Vrod and since my work entails constant bending of the toes when I measure client's feet and constant kneeling...."Read the full review
When I first got these I was afraid they wouldn’t fit. Grails don’t seem to work out well for me!
Flame Panda Service Boot in Maryam Natural Horsebutt Overdyed Brown then BlackBy Oncomingstorm • April 2, 2024"I’ve used them as I normally wear my boots, which is at work and just leisurely as I walk through life as a father of a child with special needs that happens to be extremely hyperactive. One hour at the park with these at the beginning of the dome and I realized I needed to not do such activities in these as I do intend them to be more formal long term. These boots handled the wear like it was nothing and that just speaks to Peng’s craftsmanship and quality. Since that wet and faithful day at the park these have primarily been used for office work and errands after work...."Read the full review
