White's Farmer/Rancher

Brown Distress

Talk about patina… this is the same leather, one boot has been worn casually as a city boot, the other has several hundred miles of hiking and backpacking, care to guess which is which?

More about this item

I’ve owned these since 2022 but only worn them about 10-15 days because they’re my “nice boots” and I had to break in others. Honestly they were supposed to be my hiking boots but whites accidentally made me a lace-to-toe instead of a toe cap, so I bought both and these just never got love because of all the rain in Portland (this leather does not like water). I’ll post a comparison of the leather to show how it ages since my other pair have a few hundred trail miles on them.
