The walnut work leather is no joke. I'm a construction manager on heavy industrial projects and my walnut Rangers (pre-BuilderPro) are still going strong after 7 years of daily, hard wear. This last powerhouse project was 3000 hours in 11 months… Nicks on my feet every one of those hours. Hose 'em off now and then. Dry brush occasionally. And GREASE! Grease on the roughout will make it sorta look like waxed flesh. These have a roughout heel counter and toe cap, but smooth vamp. I'm going to semi-retire my Rangers to casual wear and have them rebuilt without the steel toe or toe cap, but I could just resole and get another decade minimum out of them for work. Now… what lower leather to go with the Walnut uppers… 🤔

These were a perfect fit out of the box in November of 2016. Seven years of wonderful comfort and support. My feet have changed a bit since then and they’ve become a little snug. May be time for a rebuild…
