More about this item

This is a custom make up from Thomas Benjamin. I discovered his brand by browsing Reddit and falling I love with his Instagram, so I reached out one of his models but with tanker straps.

Why I own this

Ready To Wear
Style
Other

I wanted the look of a tanker boot because I have felt that combat boots have always been the most comfortable for me on-foot, the tanker straps were for easy of putting on in the morning.
