Miles of dirt and concrete walking. Everyday use on commercial construction site. Kept out of mud to preserve dublin patina in the beginning but last 2 months they saw everything without a second thought.

Color Change

Carmel color development is an understatement. these boots truly love getting sun exposure and bringing out more and more tan. Dublin has molded to my feet perfectly without over stretching and is like a sock now.

Satisfied with the Fit

Built in delta arch makes a great addition due to my high arches. Zero complaints. size is prefect after break in and leather stretched to mold my ankles.

Durable and comfortable. Haven't had any issues with soles chunking like vibram soles tend to do on rocky terrain or catching nail heads on form work.

No heel no problem. thanks to Delta arch

These boots will see a decade or more of wear with resoles every few years. very happy with nicks boots.
