Good boots for casual hiking and outdoor activities.

Boots were worn 4-5 days per week while working from home. Also outdoors walking the dog and weekend hikes of several miles. Walked around in the snow, too, when it wasn’t too deep.

The teacore is really showing through after 6 months, and the leather is easy to shine to remove scuffs. They’ve become more comfortable every week. Other than heel slip in the beginning, break-in was minimal. I used Bick 4 after 4 months and regularly brushed them.

The round toe on these is really comfortable. I also have a pair of Luchadors with an almond-shaped toe, and these are much roomier in the toe box. I can wear thick or thin socks, so I’d say the Harley last has more room overall than the Luchadors. The size I have is EU 39.5, and they fit most like my Wolverine 1000 Mile boots in 7D.

Sole has little wear after 6 months, but I don’t walk on pavement often. They have good traction. The design is cool, but it has a lot of places for mud to collect that makes them fussy to clean.

They broke in easily, look good for casual wear around town, and were great for light hiking in dry weather. I initially thought water was getting in around the tongue, but after more use, I realized it was leaking in around the welt. That was slightly disappointing for a pair labeled as trekking boots. That said, there was nothing on the website saying these are waterproof. I definitely recommend the Bulwark boots and Blkbrd Shoemaker. They’ve been great to work with when ordering, and they produce quality products.
