I watched a few videos and winged it. I added a leather insole because I could’ve gone done a half size

I’m a plumber in an RV factory, and my day job is fast-paced—we push 46 high-end tow-behinds a day. I’m constantly on my feet, crawling under sinks, or climbing ladders. At home, life doesn’t slow down: I’ve got 14 dogs, three kids, a garden to tend, and wood to cut for the winter. I’ll even jump on a roof if someone needs a hand. Through it all, these boots have kept up—16 hours a day, every single day, since October. In the Midwest, we need gear as tough as the weather, and these deliver

Color Change

These boots are designed to bleed red when scuffed, yet despite wearing them daily, the leather looks almost as good as day one. Even ABS cement, silicone, and gasket putty slide right off without a trace. The two-week break-in was easy; after a bit of Obenauf's boot oil, I was good to go.

Satisfied with the Fit

Not bad. No issues on the concrete at work and very little trouble with the ice outside

I love it for being outside in the bud as it doesn’t pick up and carry it with me inside. Works well when you have 14 dogs and a garden

Final thoughts

Good Value
Would Recommend

I wish I could just buy it again in the right size but I’ll just have them rebuilt when I need a new sole. By far my favorite pair of boots to date
