Five year review: Truman natural shell derbies
Truman Derby in Horween Unglazed Natural Shell CordovanBy loralrose • October 29, 2024"On average I wear these about once per week plus the occasional evening out.
I don’t wear them for really rough work-boots stuff, but everything else is fair game. I don’t baby them at all… they’ve been on dusty nature walks, beach sand, grassy fields, mud puddles, etc. I walk 5-10 miles per day around town, so they’ve seen a lot of pavement too.
These are also my “nice” shoes for formal occasions - or at least what passes as formal in the rural Pacific Northwest. They kept my feet cozy during my college graduation, conference presentations, two rounds of jury duty, and several job interviews...."Read the full review
Well worth the wait
White's Bounty Hunter in Horween Cinnamon Waxed Flesh & Horweem Olive Waxed FleshBy dwbrunton • October 29, 2024"This is my 3rd pair of White's boots but my first custom order. My choice of the C461 last was two fold (take advantage of the full customisation experience) and more importantly, the aesthetic of the sprung toe.
My other White's boots are on the 1972 last (perry select) and the mp last - both in 9.5. While I can and have worn each of those for extended periods without issue, neither of them prepared me for the comfort of the C461.
This last may be the perfect last for me. Sized half down from HTT Brannock to a 10, these boots feel like nothing I have worn before. The arch is just high enough so you know it's there and giving my feet a stability that makes the boot feel a part of my feet and very firmly grounded...."Read the full review

A heavy boot, you can do almost anything in.
Jim Green Numzaan in Jim Green Walnut Veg TanBy Dennis • October 21, 2024"I use them as an everything boot. Mostly in the office but also for walks outside, going out in the city and mushroom hunting. Truth be told, I won't use them for renovation or construction work. I had them on in heavy rain and they kept my feet mostly dry except the place where it bends the most. We've had a few freezing mornings and I didn't have a problem with thick socks. In the office, I get sweaty feet from time to time when it is too warm...."Read the full review

GREB 1960s Kodiak Steel Toe in Unknown LeatherBy BigMunnyMunro • October 19, 2024"I’ve worn these for just about everything and they’ve been just about everywhere I’ve been, I wear them when I’m working in the shop, I spend long days standing on concrete in them, I’ve worn them hiking, fishing, foraging, and logging (clearing land on family property) They’ve held up very well and the build quality is something I cannot question, I’ve yet to wear them in the snow and ice because well, it’s not winter yet but I expect they’ll shrug it off like they have with everything else..."Read the full review
