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

Realized I probably should have added some speed hooks cause they took forever to get into everyday.

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
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!
Willie's Handmade Boots Pioneer Lace To Toe in Maryam Olive HorsebuttBy Balisong42 • April 5, 2024"I wore these about 3-5 days a week. Mostly in-office and commuting to work.

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
My experience with Tahura was excellent. I would buy from them again for sure.

Onderhoud Low Cut LCV01 in Maryam Natural HorsebuttBy daftdonald • April 6, 2024"Mostly around Portland, where they saw a lot of rain. A little light wear in the mountains of east Oregon but not much as the makeup really isn’t made for winters in the mountains and I didn’t want to abuse them. They also went on some vacations and to a music festival..."Read the full review

Zerrows Boneakers in Maryam Natural HorsebuttBy kenyhaves • April 2, 2024"I have worn these for work and casual occasions. Basically I wore them nearly everyday for the past six months. I’ve traveled to Europe on these boots. Worked a handful of major art fairs and custom installation projects with these beauties. I’ve traveled the USA as well in them. Its been a pleasure to wear and break them in. It did take a little time and effort. I have a wide forefoot which takes a little time for the leather to conform. The soles have stood up fairly well considering how much walking I have done in them. Probably not quite ready for a resole. I did notice the speed hooks are pulling out so I’ll need a cobbler to repair the hooks...."Read the full review
