As a water operator and construction lead my job involves everything from shop work, meter installs, main repairs. So these boots have seen it all, from concrete to gravel to ankle deep mud.

Color Change

Leather holds up fantastic. Hosed off when needed, brushed daily, wiped with a damp rag when needed. Conditioned with Bick 4 and Venetian shoe cream as needed. Love the subtle color changes from the vamp to the quarters.

Satisfied with the Fit

55 last feels like it’s made for my foot. Arch placement is perfect. I’ll probably go Thurman next go round for a little extra toe splay.

Honey sole has become my favorite. Perfect mixture of softness and durability, great for working on concrete and in the dirt.
