Why did you choose this item?
I have a 10” Drews logger as a work boot and I really love it. Then I also have a 6” Drews Contractor as my go to every day boot so this looked like something I could use for everything for the next 6 months.
How did you determine your size?
I just got lucky my first time. I read a lot of reviews and it sounded like this last could fit me well. I normally wear 8.5ee in boots like this but the 8.5 D in this last fits me even better (more room in the toe box)
What was the ordering process?
Perfect, took 3 days from order until it was on my doorstep in Iceland!!!
Use & wear
These boots will be used for working in a workshop. Taking care of a forrest (pruning and felling), hiking and for winter 4x4 trips up in the highlands of Iceland. Also just as a every day shoe..
Leather
I’m writing this after just one week of wearing the boots. The bison upper is thick but still flexible. The upper is kind of tight to get in to but once in it fits perfectly. Hopefully that will get better with time
Fit
This last just fits my feet perfectly! Way better than any other last
Craftsmanship
Looks beautiful and nothing to complain about
Sole & heel
I have this sole on other boots and it is my all time favorite sole living in Iceland..
So far songood
Final thoughts
This boot is the only boot in my collection that I could possibly use for all of my activities. Really good value, great craftsmanship, fits me perfect and looks stunning!
