Generally I’ve worn this in and around town and to the office. They have seen heavy wear but not much strenuous activity. Being from the UK the worst weather these saw was heavy rain.
Leather
Horween Chocolate Chromexcel
Care Routine
Color Change
Break-In
This leather seems to be fairly impervious to change. It’s slowly taken on a more reddish tone, but there hasn’t been dramatic changes in leather. It’s been very each to care for and very easy to wear right from the outset.
Fit
Fit is fantastic, comfortable and easy to wear.
Craftsmanship
John Lofgren Wabash Engineer Boots
Overall these design fit and finishing in these has been great. I’ve had no problems.
Sole & heel
I’ve not slipped over once.

New Monkey Cap Toe Service Boot in Horween Navy Chromexcel StripsBy mjig76 • April 2, 2024"My work as a Facility Manager for a Hospital and Medical School that involves a lot of site visits, inspections, and basically a moderate amount of walking has allowed me a more relaxed dress code than my peers. Since I wear a lot of jeans, I wear these boots to work as much as I can.
These boots have been with me to the beach, part of my holloween costume as Mike Wazowski, visiting my Dad's grave, and coming home to my hometown Iloilo City aside from my daily grind which involves a lot of driving around the Metro...."Read the full review

First Impressions
Munson El Capitan in Horween Black ChromexcelBy gameofdrones • February 16, 2025"One day of walking around town on paved surfaces. The Vibram sole gives just enough impact absorption compared to an old pair of Frye boots with Oilite “cork” soles that are super rigid.
The vamp is just starting to crease. I’m still babying it, not flexing it too much...."Read the full review

They are the best insoles out there, and the arch support is very good, too!! It fixed the volume issue that started as they broke in. I think that they could keep the factory open just selling insoles if something happened to them making boots...."Read the full review
