My anything, everywhere, all at once boot

I used these often on my walks with my two dogs along a dirt & grass path. Rain or shine, these have been my go to: dinner with friends, trips to see family, car washes, grocery shopping, etc. normal day to day living for me. I even wore them to a client meeting. Unprompted, my client pointed out the unique texture along the quarters and I got to share with them the lore of the Thunderdome

Sagara offered this horse butt leather as a limited run and I requested that the quarters use the unique texture of the hide and but use the lighter shell cordovan pieces for the vamp and heelstay. They obliged and unknowingly the lighter shell pieces patina’d into a beautiful olive brown while the quarters ended up remaining mostly the same color. Although you’ll see almost a “water line” where my denim transferred some indigo and protected the upper quarters from the sun, water, and wear thus keeping it lighter in color I conditioned these boots once when I got them with bick 4 and again before final pics with Venetian shoe cream Break in was super easy. These boots felt like sneakers after 2 weeks. The lightest easiest to wear in my collection

I went true to size and they fit well

Impeccable, i had a pair of John lofgrens worth a $1000 and these are on par for fit and finish

I felt a kinship to the “boondocker” boot because of its USA & Philippines mixed origins. Originally the N1 field boot was designed for the US military during world war 2. It was used in the pacific theatre and gained the name “boondocker” from the Filipino word for mountain “bundok” Myself being born in the Philippines but raised in the US, I loved learning of this small blend of my cultures through footwear I picked out components for this Boondocker to be my “city” version of the rugged military boot. White half outsole + green horsehide at a 8” height made it my own
