K.M.P.T Shoemaker Service Boot in Black KangarooBy prospect_joe • March 12, 2025"I got these last night. The plan is to wear them fairly rarely to the office. Mostly as something more casual than a dress shoe, but black so I can get away with as formal if no one is paying attention...."Read the full review

Nicks Handmade Boots 365 Stitchdown MTO in Horween Black ChromexcelBy domestictourist • March 10, 2025"I wear these mostly on soft ground, more than concrete. In a vehicle with them a lot, which might as well be an office considering how little they get scuffed in there. They’ve gotten thoroughly soaked quite a bit, have been through three snows, and gotten muddy a lot. I am wearing them daily and brushing them daily for the first 6 months of wear, and lightly oiling once per month for the first 6 months too...."Read the full review
Favorite boots to date!
Frank's Monkey Boot in Horween Natural ChromexcelBy Thomas_Steed_ • March 9, 2025"I've been using these boots almost daily. I've definitely taken care not to abuse them in any laborious work I've done in them, as I'm not running them in the work dome. Being they are a chromexcel, I waited until the last month of the competition, once I knew the Idaho winter was over, before conditioning with bick 4 to minimize darkening, and allow the natural patina to keep showing through. They've been through miles upon miles of walking, freight work, gym use, office work, snow, mud, and my toe drag the few times I've thrown disc golf in them. In all, they have had a lot of love and been fantastic. Frank's built them like tanks, super supportive, and the best form fit I've got, and the toe box hasn't even really started to flatten yet, but the toe spring is fantastic. Couldn't ask for a better boot in this style...."Read the full review

Thorogood American Heritage 8" Moc Toe in Seidel Trail Crazy HorseBy thwompd • March 8, 2025"For the couple few months I’ve owned them, it has been WONDERFUL. Dirt, dust and scuffs clean off with ease and some brushing. The leather is good and thick, a good firm feel and hold shape well. After getting them good and broke in you can hardly tell they’re on your feet...."Read the full review

Urban Shepherd Scout Charcoal in Waxed Portugese CalfskinBy sbjweyk • March 4, 2025"So I wear these basically doing everything in my life, except work, during the Thunder-dome.

I’ve taken these trough basically every situation I could think of Really wet grass, deep snow, thorny bushes, sand and mud. And they kept my feet dry and safe...."Read the full review
