Mysterious and excellent. Great boots. Super fun experience.
Flame Panda Boondocker in Unknown LeatherBy DBBrenner • April 4, 2024"The idea was that starting October 1st these would be the only thing I put on my feet for 6 months. That didn’t last a full two months.
90% of the wear on these were in an office at a warehouse.
During the first month of wear I also took them an almost-daily mile and a half dog walks and wore them everywhere.
In month two the dog walks ended in these boots - a hurt heal helped that decision. Switched up to some super dad-style running shoes for the dog walks.
By month three I was only wearing these to work. I didn’t realize how much I’d miss all my other boots. I made it a point to wear others outside of work.
These took a bit more beating than someone who works in office would give them as I do work in a warehouse and, although most of my time is in an office now, I do get out on the floor and do some work. They may or may not have rubbed against a pallet or 7...."Read the full review
Victorian boots with very comfortable heel and built, and impeccable style. Ideal for any occasion.

These boots will never wear out
Viberg Rigger in Unknown LeatherBy chrisx • April 3, 2024"These boots have taken me everywhere! As a hat maker I work from my home studio so my footwear gets gentle wear, however, over the thunderdome I took a position in the costume department at Cirque du Soleil and these were perfect for working backstage in the big top. They took me hiking, snow shoeing, dancing, and for miles and miles of walking. I’ve worn them with jeans, skirts dresses, overalls and shorts, there is really no occasion they don’t work for. I’m so unbelievably happy with how comfortable they have become, they are definitely my go to choice for footwear...."Read the full review
A Modern Take on the Timeless Design of the Classic Hi-Top Sneaker
PF Flyers Castlerock Suede in Unknown LeatherBy Post_Leako • April 2, 2024"Some specifics:
Waxed them with Otter Wax on Day 1
Cut a hole in the tongue to thread the laces through and better keep said tongue in place
Mowed the lawn in them once (didn't wanna have to keep cleaning off grass stains)
Went for 2 separate two-mile runs
Hiked the Nomambo Mountain Bike Trail (easy) and Clark Creek Trail (moderate)
Went on countless bike rides
Skateboarded a lot
Beyond all that, I wore these shoes almost every day and they were my most used pair of shoes by far for the duration of the thunderdome. I wore them in rainy weather no problem, and the wax helped shrug that off. A lot of their time was spent in office environments since I work for a library. That said, these things were my goto for work or play, and they're even great driving shoes since my car's a stick-shift. They've been fun, versatile, amd sporty.
The Clark Creek Trail (also known as Tunica Falls) was a bit much for them however. They survived, but I definitely pushed them past their limit with mud and whatnot. I would not do that or any moderately serious hiking trail again in sneakers...."Read the full review

A boot that will make you jealous of when it was considered an average everyday work boot
GREB 1960s Kodiak Steel Toe in Unknown LeatherBy BigMunnyMunro • October 19, 2024"I’ve worn these for just about everything and they’ve been just about everywhere I’ve been, I wear them when I’m working in the shop, I spend long days standing on concrete in them, I’ve worn them hiking, fishing, foraging, and logging (clearing land on family property) They’ve held up very well and the build quality is something I cannot question, I’ve yet to wear them in the snow and ice because well, it’s not winter yet but I expect they’ll shrug it off like they have with everything else..."Read the full review
Did Everything in Them
Carmina Work Boots 861 in Unknown LeatherBy miamisoledoc • April 6, 2024"I did everything in these boots. I saw patients every week. I traveled around the world. I hiked in swamps, deserts, mountains, rain, snow, garden hose, my daughter’s room. Art fairs, car repair, golf, fishing, cooking.
At no point were they babied or treated like anything else but footwear. Meant to be worn, they say. Yup. They got worn...."Read the full review
