Jim Green AR8 in Fudge Crazy HorseBy Scope75 • April 6, 2025"Wore them daily at work as a mechanic, and they spent lots of time in the dirt playing fetch with my dogs. Over the course of the dome these boots have walked over 1000 miles or over 2 million steps...."Read the full review
A half year in the life of a Nick’s Packer 55 Last
Nicks Packer in Wickett & Craig Natural Double StuffedBy TangibleLily929 • April 6, 2025"From dancing, yoga, store runs, traveling the New York City streets, visiting Yale in New Heaven Connecticut, seeing the monuments in Pensilvania, birthday cabin walks and hikes in Oklahoma and many many dance floors around the US, Nicks Packers saw it all in snow, sand, heat, rain, dirt, mud, ocean water, lakes and even my yoga mat. I used Nick’s in everything and everywhere. If it was hot in Katy, Texas, wear I live, I was wearing thin shorts a t-shirt and proudly displaying my 10 inch Nick’s Packers with a little bit of white socks peaking out above the rim...."Read the full review

My first pair of Grant Stone's did not disappoint! Love them!
Grant Stone Nora Boot in Horween Dune ChromexcelBy wildflowersnboots • April 6, 2025"I initially tried the natural waxy commander with the commando sole, but they were just a little too big. I wanted more traction because we like to walk and hike a lot. I ended up with the Nora's because they are pretty and versatile for casual and dressy wear.
I wore these boots mostly as casual boots. Lots of urban wear, errends, and paved paths. I did end up wearing them in the snow and ice a bit, because my uncle needed his walkway and driveway shoveled, but he didn't tell me that before I went over to his house. He lives pretty close and my house didn't have any snow left, so I didn't think to take other footwear with me. Did some house projects and yard projects as well. Lots of waiting room wear and only a couple of hikes on mostly paved paths. Lots of walking the dogs and strolling through little towns and parks. Went on a couple or road trips with them, so they've been to 15 states...."Read the full review
A great workhorse boot
Red Wing 953 in Velva BoomerBy mreams99 • April 6, 2025"I wore these Red Wing 953s for just about everything. I wore them to take the dogs outside for long walks, shoveled snow, mowed the lawn, and dug out a few ditches with them. They handled it all.
I had a partial tear of my plantar fascia in December, which cut down a bit on my activity for a while. Then I adopted a dog who insisted on long walks — even in the snow. My daily mileage and step count with these increased significantly over the last couple of months and it seemed that it really showed up in the patina...."Read the full review

Grant Stone Edward Boot in Badalassi Carlo Natural MinervaBy Hatsandboots • April 6, 2025"I’ve worn these Grant Stone Edwards 5 days (9 to 5 deskjob) a week for work during Thunderdome. Due to the harsh weather conditions in Eastern Canada, I’ve worn them inside in an office environment, but had the chance to wear them outside as well for approximately two months...."Read the full review

Onderhoud SVC03 Service Boot in Maryam T. Moro HorsebuttBy morosoleatherworks • April 6, 2025"I don't do particularly onerous work, but I do wear them daily: rising my bike, teaching, walking the dog. They don't take the abuse that some of our work dome compatriots inflict, and so haven't transformed nearly as dramatically, but they have received daily wear...."Read the full review
