Horsebutt = rolls only
Prof Barnets Bulky Cap Toe Boots in Maryam Brown HorsebuttBy stevenh969 • March 11, 2026"4-5 wears every week since the dome start with the exception of feb. That month the boots were used to sample the zipper tongue you see now. The boots were very comfortable with no hotspots only the midsole need to be broken in (very stiff), which it did after a short amount of time (1-2 weeks).
I am mostly indoors and walking on pavement between buildings, which might be why there isn’t noticeable changes.
Overall I’m happy with how the boots held up...."Read the full review

My first pair of truly well broken in boots
Prof Barnets Cleon in Indonesian Black Waxed FleshBy Dutch_fl • April 5, 2024"I was not initially planning to take part in the dome this year. When these boots showed up at the start of October I figured what the hell. At the end of it all I am left with an incredibly comfortable pair of boots that has set the bar for break-in for me.
I wore this pair to the office at the coal mine every day from the start of the Dome til the end, working one week on and one week off. On my days off I used them for chores around the house like clearing snow, walking the dog, going to the ski hill, all in winter conditions like extreme cold and salty ice puddles. I slid across ice in these boots and tromped through snow drifts. Throughout it all my feet stayed well protected and warm. I covered them in coal laced mud traveling to the mine and wore them to every meeting and occasion at work over the course of 6 months, including a promotion.
I may not have put as much wear on them as some of my fellow Domers but I am happy to have a pair of boots that I will love to wear for years going forward...."Read the full review
