Natural Dublin, The heritage leather that could...

Nicks Builder Pro, MTO in Horween Natural Dublin
By ShnyHntr91 • April 1, 2025"09/26/24 - Hurricane Helene made her devastating landfall in the South Eastern part of the U.S. dumping more than 40 trillion gallons of water upon the North Carolina, Tennessee border. Max sustained wind 140 mph. 10/05/24 - Hurricane Milton followed suit in St. Pete, Florida. Max sustained wind 180 mph. This pair of Natural Dublin, Builder Pro's were carried around from bucket truck to hotel room for six days before they were thrown into the carnage that was Hurricane Helene and Milton. These Builder Pro's started life off hard and fast, building powerlines across the country. From storm events such as the twin major hurricanes mentioned above, to lake effect snow and ice storms in Upstate New York. Climbing poles and digging holes to set new poles were frequent tasks throughout the restoration efforts. One thing to note was the hellish terrain this pair had to endure for the first three weeks of their life. From right of ways down in the Western North Carolina hollars, filled with huge, fallen pine trees in sea of unforgiving briars. To back yards in South Western Florida where they navigated through an obstacle course of cypress trees, which lay snapped between backyard properties. After returning home, they experienced primarily bucket work, which can be quite the abrasive environment for any pair of boots. Copper and aluminum wire scraps are cut and typically discarded into the bottom of the bucket. They can be extremely sharp objects that are residing with your boots for hours at a time. Temperature ranges were all over the map from high 90°F in Florida to single digits in New York. As for weather, we got to experience a little bit of everything, from down pouring rain and heavy snow to a month long dry and dusty drought. They handled all I and mother nature could throw at them......"Read the full review

The thickest boot I have purchased. The waxy leather has a slight red hue to it out of the box.

These have held up even better than expected. The bison leather has been fun to watch patina!
