Use & wear

Leisure
Travel

I wore these boots throughout the Dome on my days off. I had another pair in the Work Dome. These were my Open pair. So they didn't see hard work. Just normal day to day activities on my days off. Taking kids to school. Running errands. Grocery shopping. Baseball games. Karate practice.

Break-In

These have really developed some good rolls on the shaft. You can see where my ankle is and where the movement happens. They've held up very well. I didn't subject them to anything harsh. The break in was easy. Just wore them every single day I was off. From 7 in the morning until bed time at night. Never have me any issues at all. The Thurman last is so comfortable. They never saw anything but a horsehair brush. Just give em a good brushing at the end of each day of wear.

Satisfied with the Fit

The Thurman is my absolute favorite last. It's perfect for my feet! Just the right amount of splay for my toes! I go the same size as I do in all of my other lasts. I can, and have wear this last all day every day! It's freaking great!

Everything is awesome! I had to get special permission to have these built. And they absolutely nailed it! Nate did a tremendous job clicking out the reverse portions! I could not be any more happy with these!

I have loved these soles! Great grip and excellent traction. They've been very durable. They're also incredibly comfortable. They make less noise than the VBar and mini lug.

Final thoughts

Would Recommend

I consider myself blessed that I was able to build these! They were a boot I had floating around in my head for over a year. Nicks and Shuyler made my boot dreams come to fruition! I love the reverse Cobalt! Plus the custom touches I added myself.
