More about this item

The leather is surprisingly tough, because I didn’t intentionally beat them up and just wore them day to I could use another 6 months of Dome! The switch to leather laces made an immediate difference with the stiffness of the boot and leather. Now they are very comfortable and will be presentable for the foreseeable future.

Why I own this

Ready To Wear
Workplace Needs

The color is amazing I wanted a boot to fill the place of my Redwing 870’s, something chunky yet refined.

How I sized

Online Guide
Brannock Measurements

I went with S &S recommendations they have been spot on with John Lofgren and every other boot I have tried with them cheers! Brannock 10D but they would fit E.
