Horween Black Chromexcel
I’ve worn these every day for the past month. Looking at other dome photos though, simply wearing them to work and around town might not be enough. I’m going to have to start finding more adventures on my spare time as well.

Nicks Handmade Boots
365 Stitchdown MTO
US Men's Brannock: 12D
HNW Moderate Arch Standard Toe Last: 11.5D
Purchased half a size down from my brannock as recommended (not in width though) and I think that’s pretty accurate in this last. A C width in the thurman hnw last might have been better though.
Nicks Handmade Boots
Personally wanted something 100% constructed in the US with 100% US-sourced materials. Job requirements were that the boots had to be black in color, have a polishable toe, provide good ankle support, be made of a predominantly leather upper, and be EH rated.
Followed online sizing guide. Half a size down from brannock.
Once I watched a few videos and read the buying guide, I understood all the store options well enough to make the order.
