Care Routine
Durability

I treated these boots as winter beaters through a very annoying Michigan winter. They were buried in swamp mud for a few days. I am impressed by the durability and how the leather cleans up like new.

Satisfied with the Fit

The Baker/White's MTM process was seamless and the fit is perfect. I'm spoiled forever.

Clicking

The design, fit, and finish were excellent. The leather clicking was well done. I feel these boots could handle whatever is thrown at them.

Final thoughts

Would Recommend

I always enjoy working with Baker on their custom boots. The Horsehide is soft, pliable and incredibly durable. I would add a celastic toe with the toe cap next time.
