Red Dog is totally overlooked by many but it is some great stuff when fully broken in.

These have been in my regular rotation of daily wear for the nearly 6 months. Both work and leisure.

Break-In

This leather does start off a little stiff but starts to take shape fairly quickly.

Craftsmanship

White's Smokejumper
Construction
Design

This boot silhouette is just a classic in my eyes. The 8” height with no pull loop is my preferred build and I will continue to get additional pairs in this height.

Sole & heel

Traction
Comfort

This is my preferred wedge sole. Extremely comfortable. Not as durable as other wedge soles from Vibram but the comfort is unmatched.

Final thoughts

Would Recommend

I personally love the traditional rolled welt from White’s. I truly believe that everyone needs at least one pair in their collection. It’s a good investment in well made and durable boots that will earn their place in your regular rotation.
