Great boots, great leather. These casual boots worked as a warehouse work boot flawlessly.

These beasts got me through sale season in the Grant Stone warehouse without a hitch. From 10k steps a day to outside shoveling the loading dock these performed.

The leather is great. Its soft, creases lightly and gathers patina with ever touch. While not waterproof from the factory, a coat of Obanoff's sealed them up great.

These are built like a diesel truck. But they look like a Cadillac.

Sole & heel

This is my only minor gripe. I should have gotten some lug soles for winter....

Final thoughts

Good Value
Would Recommend

These were the perfect pick for the Dome. Stylish, rugged enough for a work boot, and patina monsters.

Really great value and surprisingly comfortable, given that I'm used to the 55 last from Nicks
