More about this item

I was a pleasure to wear these boots for the duration of the Patina Thunderdome. I look forward to continual wear.

Why I own this

Limited Release
Style
Workplace Needs

The service boot is an extremely attractive style because it can fit almost anywhere. I chose this makeup because the Cypress leather looked like a great option for the Thunderdome. Tan leather is a personal favorite of mine. I also work a lot of trade shows so having a boot that can dress up beyond workwear while still being functional in a machine shop was a goal.

How I sized

Use & wear

Physical Work
Outdoor Activities
Leisure
Travel

I wore these boots everywhere. I work in a machine shop so they saw the most wear time there. Lots of casual wear, and slightly dressed up for trade shows. Also, a lot of dog walks.

Break-In
Durability
Care Routine

The break in was very easy. Watching the patina develop and evolve over time was a great experience. The cypress leather held up fantastic in a light duty work environment. I brushed almost daily due to the dusty nature of my shop. I washed and conditioned once with Viberg branded products.

The Ridgeway sole exceeded my expectations. Comfortable enough, low profile, and great traction. They look to have a long life before my first resole.

Final thoughts

Would Recommend

I only discovered the The Stichdown Patina Thunderdome in October. At that time I thought it might be something fun to get into next year. Then Division Road drop the above mentioned Viberg make up late October and I realized that I could get in this year’s dome on the late entry. Five months later here we are. The cypress leather handles the work environment fantastic and it was a pleasure to watch it develop unique character every single day. After about month four they developed exception comfort for me. I highly recommended this boot and this leather to anyone interested.
