The Last is first, the Journey sentimental and the Firsts of lasting memories

2-3 times a week to office and the occasional holiday and errand trips. This boot has brought me to many firsts places that im deeply attached to

Helped named this last ‘Bockara’ after his late grandfather. Ive owned multiple pairs of Engineer boots but few has the arch support and of course being made to measure - fits me good with little heel slip. Easily the most accommodating pair. I also learned how a proper slip-on boot should fit as Ive always been sizing up for more room.

Adam clicked the more attractive parts with visible grains and texture on the vamp and the leather is just beautiful. I have a soft spot for vegtan leather and at point of ordering he only has enough of Tarnsjo horsehide for 3 pairs (so im a proud owner of 1 of 3 pairs worldwide as of now). Tarnsjo typically produced cowhide or other tooling leather so this horsehide batch is a limited run

Rubber topy goes well with double midsole at the forefoot - reducing bulk and maintains sleekness.

Highly recommend Raland for the personalized experience but Adam very deservedly had more orders since and is working with a Spanish factory to release more culturally-Swedish designs and I am very glad to be a part of that journey. Everyone has different metrics for value (durability, construction integrity, finishing etc). This pair’s value to me is the stories Im able to share to my family and friends of how it came about, where it has brought me to, the good and bad experiences along the way, chasing sunsets, and how it accompany me throughout all of that - over and over and beyond.
