Very impressed with these fantastic boots.
Grant Stone Diesel Boot in Badalassi Carlo Saddle Tan MinervaBy Patrick_I._Nas • April 3, 2025"I wore these boots every single day for this project, which means through all kinds of weather and activity! Hiking, biking, commuting, traveling, and getting my daily steps in, through sun, wind, rain, and snow. These boots have been a faithful companion and they have never let me down...."Read the full review
Tanning my Tahuras
Tahura Kaktoes in Tochigi Jeans #5 KhakiBy dante • April 3, 2025"Worn these every work day to the office for the past 6 months. Also then playing in the sun with my toddler after work and on the weekends. Most of the wear has been on my heels where my desk chair accidentally scrapes it or when I'm sitting on the ground catching my breath after doing ninja kicks on bitumen to entertain my boys.
I live in Brisbane, Australia and it is hot, sunny and humid in the summer. These guys have fared well in the storms and wet as well as getting a tan in the sun...."Read the full review
I picked the wrong leather for the contest again this year!

The aging of this leather has been a journey. Wickett & Craig leather is something to experience.

Nicks Parkhurst V2 in Horween Tan Waxed FleshBy austinrylees • April 3, 2025"I have worn these boots during most of my activities for the past 6 months. I work in a clinic with children and although they get regular use but for 8 out of 12 hours they were mostly indoors...."Read the full review

Too old for laces too young for velcro, I'll be wearing tankers for the next few decades.
Nicks Heritage TankerPro in Nicks / Wickett & Craig Double Stuffed MojaveBy TomBombadome • April 3, 2025"Walking commutes to and from work and general errands. Long hours standing at work (checking ID's) and the occasional need to calm unruly drunks. These offer more support than I've ever felt standing for l9ng hours and power long grocery walks often carrying 60+lbs for miles at a time...."Read the full review
Great value and a classic leather
Rancourt & Co. Dirigo Derby in Horween Black ChromexcelBy ewolarsky • April 3, 2025"Over the course of the Thunderdome, these shoes got eighty days of wear. This was mostly suburban life and office work, but I walked in the woods from time to time for variety...."Read the full review

Truman Cap Toe Boot in Gallun leathers Cognac Horse RumpBy nomoresayswife • April 2, 2025"This style doesn’t seem to have any function other than casual wear. Perhaps if switched to different sole could make it work in a shop type work environment...."Read the full review
Super versatile, go anywhere boots
Parkhurst The Allen in Tempesti Cognac Veg TanBy ABPhoto • April 2, 2025"I mostly wore these when walking the dog, working outside, and for casual trips out of the house. They do dress up quite well, however. I didn't beat on these as much as last year's submission but I think these took a decent licking all the same. They saw plenty of water, both wet and frozen and the Parkhurst lug soles did great on snow and ice this winter...."Read the full review
