    Use & wear

    Office Work

    Requirement to wear safety boots even though I work mainly in the office. Needed for when I venture out into the warehouse & yard. Single lasted so suit the in & out environment I have to work in.

    Solid build & the leather is quality that will stand the test of time.

    Sole & heel

    Other

    On reflection I would go for another sole choice next time. The lug sole is good it's just over kill for my current boot use.

    Final thoughts

    Good Value

    I absolutely love the leather & so pleased with the patina. Not the most stylish boot but they are work boots after all. These will serve me well. Jim Green craft solid boots fit for purpose.
