The thunderdome produces comfy boots (and has for four years running)
Onderhoud SVC03 Service Boot in Maryam T. Moro HorsebuttBy morosoleatherworks • April 6, 2025"I don't do particularly onerous work, but I do wear them daily: rising my bike, teaching, walking the dog.

The envy of all my students and fellow teachers

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
The Toyota Hilux of boots: Lightweight & rugged.
Onderhoud SVC02 Packer Boot in Badalassi Carlo Cognac MinervaBy blinkerfluid • April 2, 2024"These have been used for many motocross activities (loading/unloading/washing the dirt bike), one camping trip, a Wiley From ATL concert, many flights, industry trade shows, business meetings, one weekend in Aspen, one sledding day, and a lot of tinkering in the garage. The dark patina on the inside heel area is from my sur ron swing arm...."Read the full review
