My experience with Tahura was excellent. I would buy from them again for sure.

Why I own this

Custom
Outdoor Activities

I believe I saw Dale from Dales leatherworks get a similar pair in green and just loved the look. I wanted a natural veg tanned leather that would age well with wear. I didn’t baby these at all. I wore them for an average of about 3-4 days/week; either running errands with the family, taking the kids/dog for walks through the woods; or remodeling my bathroom.

How I sized

I sent in exact measurements of my feet to Tahura

Ordering process

Purchased from TahuraTotal cost: 515 USD Lead time: 5 months

Great customer service. Easy to communicate through Instagram messages with prompt replies

Use & wear

I wore these running errands, walks in the woods with the kids, and work around the house I.e. remodeling a bathroom.

Leather

Maryam Natural Horsebutt

I am very impressed by this leather. Very durable. Ages beautifully. Break in was not too bad just about a couple weeks but that may have also been because of the double leather sole. Brushing weekly or when visible soiled and conditioned twice with Venetian

Fit

Satisfied with the Fit

These are extremely comfortable. I honestly don’t want to take them off at the end of the day.

Craftsmanship

Tahura Benjamina 2.0

Design is good. I don’t think it’s the most aesthetically pleasing boot, but they definitely grew on me. The construction and finishing was great in my opinion. These things are tanks.

Sole & heel

First pair of Dr soles and no complaints from me. They have held up well and seem to have reasonable grip without having lugs.

Final thoughts

This has been my first patina thunderdome. It has been a fun experience. It’s been a big commitment to stay consistent wearing the same boots as a normally like to rotate much more but I truly did enjoy seeing the patina develop with wears. Thanks for welcoming me in this boot journey.
