Horween Dune Chromexcel
Although I didn’t wear these boots as much as I planned due to mis-sizing, they accompanied me on many great adventures and helped create unforgettable memories. Within the first week of the Dome, I took these boots on a two week vacation to Portugal where they climbed the moutains of Duoro and stomped around the cities of Porto and Lisbon. After Portugal, these boots became my everyday boot and I wore them to do just about everything. Unfortunately, around December, I had an epiphany (AKA finally used a Brannock device) and realized these boots were about two sizes too small due to my heel to ball measurements. I still wore these badass Diesels every now and then, and I still love them. Without these boots and this competition, I could still be wearing boots that are too small! This competition and this community have honestly made my life so much more enjoyable. I’m sad to see this Dome end, but I couldn’t be more excited for Dome #3!
