Custom T-1's: A Favorable Review
Frank's Type 1 Commander in Seidel Brown DomainBy demo • April 2, 2024"I work from home full time, at a desk. However, I have multiple hobbies and a dog to entertain, so they still saw some intermittent abuse. Barely made a dent, with how solid these are...."Read the full review

First time PNW - and I love it!
White's Farmer/Rancher in Seidel Red Dog Oil TanBy AlexB • December 9, 2024"I am into well made leather and denim not because I need it for work but because I love well made things that are the result of decades of building know how and cherishing old production methodologies. I cannot wear boots to work as I’m working in a job where a formal dress code is demanded. This means that my Whites (and other boots) are essentially weekend warriors. And warriors here means that they fight against NYC pavement and the occasional visit of the upstate NY outdoors. They age very gracefully and slowly I feel. Some scratches from riding city bikes, some wrinkles from walking around...."Read the full review
Fantastic overall experience. The boots, the people, the community. Top tier all around
Peter Limmer & Sons Custom Model in Seidel Oxblood Double ShotBy Limmer_Pat • April 6, 2025"I have worn these boots through literally EVERYTHING. 6 months of a New England winter really hits every imaginable tick on the check list, other then dry and arid...."Read the full review
Finally decided to get some White's, and I think I need some more..
White's 350 Cruiser in Seidel Red Dog Oil Tan RoughoutBy erikharr • March 17, 2025"My 350 Cruisers been on every day at work in the office (watchmaker). We recently deformalised our dress code which allows me to wear these. Also wear them off work, for long walks on footpaths in rural England or just around home in the garden. I will be wearing them on holidays in a wide range of activities both urban and off track in Northern Norway...."Read the full review
Wonderful Work Boots
Wesco Jobmaster in Seidel Red Dog Oil TanBy Zeonic • April 2, 2025"Ive worn these primarily during my field topo work as a land surveyor. This includes walking through dense forest not on trails, walking through wet grass, mud, and dried dead corn fields for miles and miles. It's been over the winter so it's been kind of dreary and wet with some snow included...."Read the full review
Not bad. I wish the tongue was a little taller. I'll be keeping these for sure.
Nicks Robert in Seidel 1964 Brown SmoothBy Monkley • April 1, 2024"I work in a factory that produces electronic components. I've been transitioning off of the production floor and into a more (but not completely) office oriented role.
These have seen the usual desk patina, but also have been exposed to drops of acetone and other solvents, some dilute acid, and etching solutions.
There's also been some manual labor, but not very intense - occasionally crawling around to work on equipment.
I've used them on some short walks, but nothing significant enough to warrant the word "hike."
I didn't like the way the edges were wearing part way through, so I lightly sanded the finish off and refinished them myself. I much prefer this look now...."Read the full review

Long, cold days in my tacticals.
Nicks Tactical in Seidel WeatherShield Black SmoothBy WhileyRasqual • April 4, 2024"Strictly work boots. 6 days a week for the first half of the dome, 5 day work weeks for the 2nd half of the dome. These boots have taken me through 10 hour shifts in -35° weather, a handful of severe winter storms, and almost 1200 miles of walking...."Read the full review
A "soft toe" from Nicks.
Nicks x Rose Anvil ND3 in Horween Brown Waxed Flesh & Seidel 1964 Brown SmoothBy cjelliott • April 4, 2025"I work at a bakery and most of my working day is spent slinging drinks and serving food so my boots see a lot of chemicals, syrups, natural dyes like matcha and turmeric, and bleach. The lighter weight build has helped me keep up with the fast-paced environment and given me peace of mind when it comes to dropping drinks or things on my feet. I've taken the boots to the family homestead in the Raneer foothills, walked with the slugs and moose in the local wildlife parks, hiked with my dog Remi at the PNW famous Bowl and Pitcher trail and trenched through snow during the longer winter this year...."Read the full review
