I have used them most often for work. I am an electrician in New England. That should explain what these boots have been through.
This leather is tough to break in but is just as tough when it comes to how much it can handle.
I am very happy with the fit of these boots.
I wish I ordered these in 10” as Nicks suggested. Because of how tough the leather is they are hard on my ankles so I have to tie them very loose. Other than that, I love them. The design construction in the finish of them is all basically perfect.
It has been great. It’s nowhere near needing to be replaced and I’m over a year. End of heavy work in them now. The traction of them is almost unmatched.
If you do order work boots like these from nick or anywhere else I highly suggest you order them in at least 8 inches high if not 10 that is my only regret when I order these which is completely my fault and not Nick‘s. They suggested I do it and I did not listen
