Hondo is in my opinion one of the best western boot brands to still be making boots the old way.

Lots of walking of concrete and asphalt floors, lifting material, and kickin around stuff with the toes.

Scuffs and scratchs easily but can be blended back in easily with a little boot oil. This particular leather doesnt seem to change drasticly even after contact with snow and rain. Overall not the best leather for patina.

Pretty true to size, room toe boxes, and decent arch support. But at least for me there is lots of heel slip, and the tops are very wide.

Well made no loose or wonky stiching, the finishing on the welts and outsole were very well done, design is good but the heel is a bit heavy and you can definitly feel it when you walk.

These soles are close to the vibram v bar but are much softer and flexible, wich can be nice if you are looking for comfort but not for longevity, they were down far faster than a vibram. They also dont offer much support when kneeling and will strain your feet if doing so for long periods of time.

Heels are long wereing and will last quite some time, but with the softer sole you may have to resole before they were out.

Well made with a few minor issues, but overall a great beat around boot.
