Eastman Leather Tanker Boots

Horween Havana Burnished Roughout

Wife snapped a pic of me playing with the dog. These boots are incredibly comfortable. They're my most comfortable pair of boots, and that's saying a lot.

I like slip on boots, but I never felt like I had enough support wearing something like an Engineer boot. I took a chance on these tankers and I'm really glad that I did. I also think they look great. With long enough jeans, you can't tell I'm wearing a boot with straps. The sleek profile on the Eastman tankers also appeals to me.

I followed sizing advice on the Standard & Strange website. I went one size down from Brannock, a half size down from my normal boot size. The fit is perfect.
