The everyday boot
Red Wing Blacksmith in S.B. Foot Briar Oil SlickBy Motojet81 • April 3, 2024"The last 6 months have been great in these boots. I wore them to several concerts, traveled in them to Washington DC, yard work, motorcycle rides and daily life. Unfortunately, wasn’t able to wear them to work because they don’t fit dress code...."Read the full review
Unlined is DEFINITELY the way to go!
Quoddy Blucher in Horween Olive ChromexcelBy MagicBeardMan86 • April 3, 2024"I wore these to the office daily, on a trip to visit family and friends, out and about for daily activities and errands. They saw sun, rain, and snow. They trod carpet, tile, and wood; pavement and blacktop; grass and dirt. They were not spared or babied!..."Read the full review
Inspired work boots to daily drivers
Monroe 19917 LTT in Tochigi Oil Vachetta #1 Light BrownBy OldSchool_Mijo • April 3, 2024"I wore these boots rain or shine, even experienced some snow! These were my day to day lifestyle boots. I did not baby them whatsoever. If I had a project going on at home I had these on my feet. I built a 70’ fence in these. I cut firewood in these. I took these to the grocery store. I went to birthday parties in these. I hiked. I traveled out of state with them. They essentially became apart of me...."Read the full review
Favorite Boots….As of Now!
Frank's Ground Pounder in Horween Natural Waxed FleshBy traceycortez • April 3, 2024"Teaching, Welding, and Outdoor Farm Work
Most of my day is spent in a HS welding shop teaching structural welding, but ai also manage my schools farm which is located in the city so we are unique. We raise pigs, goats, sheep, rabbits and poultry so these boots have seen their share of various work conditions...."Read the full review
I wore my cheap boots to the big dance and had a damn good time!
Hall's Safety Equipment Lace-To-Toe Lineman Boot in Brown Crazy Horse Oiled LeatherBy FtValloniaStreaker • April 3, 2024"These boots go on my feet @ 5am and on a good day are off by 6pm but 9-10 is not unusual. I’m a printer by trade 8 hours a day, but after work is when the real work starts. Everyday is different construction, auto repair, welding, plumbing and electrical to name a few. They were in campgrounds, and on the beach, but airports are probably the biggest hassle. Being a mild winter not many extreme conditions experienced...."Read the full review
Witty Title
Grant Stone Diesel Boot in Kango Tobacco OstrichBy prospect_joe • April 3, 2024"I wore these boots everywhere doing everything. The highlight was probably hiking. I have done 10+ mile hikes in these boots at Bryce Canyon National Park (the first day I wore them--bad idea), Zion National Park, Dixie National Forest, Fishlake National Forest, Redcliffs National Conservation Area, Snow Canyon State Park, and the Canaan Wilderness.
On top of the hundreds of thousands of miles of hiking they endured, I also took them snowshoeing. Worst of all these boots were worn to teach college students and do academic research.
Finally this winter was relatively mild with respect to snow. Nevertheless, they frequently saw snow and salt...."Read the full review
Climbed trees & rode ATVs then brushed them up to wear to the office the next day. Pretty remarkable
Oak Street Bootmakers Trench Boot in Horween Natural ChromexcelBy jamesontisch • April 3, 2024"I’ve worn them in all conditions. From rain and snow in the northeast to chopping down trees to office work and even to my wedding venue. They’ve done and seen it all...."Read the full review
A Modern Take on the Timeless Design of the Classic Hi-Top Sneaker
PF Flyers Castlerock Suede in Unknown LeatherBy Post_Leako • April 2, 2024"Some specifics:
Waxed them with Otter Wax on Day 1
Cut a hole in the tongue to thread the laces through and better keep said tongue in place
Mowed the lawn in them once (didn't wanna have to keep cleaning off grass stains)
Went for 2 separate two-mile runs
Hiked the Nomambo Mountain Bike Trail (easy) and Clark Creek Trail (moderate)
Went on countless bike rides
Skateboarded a lot
Beyond all that, I wore these shoes almost every day and they were my most used pair of shoes by far for the duration of the thunderdome. I wore them in rainy weather no problem, and the wax helped shrug that off. A lot of their time was spent in office environments since I work for a library. That said, these things were my goto for work or play, and they're even great driving shoes since my car's a stick-shift. They've been fun, versatile, amd sporty.
The Clark Creek Trail (also known as Tunica Falls) was a bit much for them however. They survived, but I definitely pushed them past their limit with mud and whatnot. I would not do that or any moderately serious hiking trail again in sneakers...."Read the full review
Getting a kick out of kangaroo
Grant Stone Diesel Boot in Incas Jungle KangarooBy anonymouz • April 2, 2024"Honestly, I had low hopes of interesting patina given that I usually work from home and don't wear shoes in the house. So, in order to maximize the time wearing these, I ended up wearing these to the gym several times a week and to church each week. I did wear these during one 6 mile hike. Otherwise, I didn't have any particular strenuous activities...."Read the full review
Super resilient suede, returned to almost blemish free condition after recon.

Sensible, colorful boots built for comfort and style! One-of-a-kind boots made by and for me.
Gitty Duncan Dance boot 001 in MPG Apollo Mediterranean BlueBy gittyduncan • April 2, 2024"These handstitched boots won second place in the Fine Craft Division of the Marin County Fair in 2023! They have become a comfortable favorite for working in my studio, dancing (swing, Zydeco, salsa) and walks in the woods...."Read the full review
They are by far my favorite pair of climbing boots.
