How many roads must a man walk down.. before his Razorbacks wear out?
Jim Green Razorback in African Buffalo SkinBy Arborology90 • April 6, 2024"My boots have been used exclusively for arboriculture in the Midwest. They are regularly used in ground and aerial lift operations, so they see their fair share of heavy equipment operation, mud, sawdust, all that fun stuff. Most days that I wear them they get exposed to moisture. I was able to wear them for outdoor work in the winter, provided the site was frozen...."Read the full review

"If I buy you these boots for an early xmas gift, will you wear them for 6 months?" -Me to my dad
Grant Stone Diesel Boot in Horween Crimson ChromexcelBy uriandries • April 6, 2024"They were largely worn working retail, so lots of time standing and walking, but also a good handful of wilderness hikes around mid Michigan. Our winter here was pretty gentle this year, but they certainly went through plenty of snow and puddles...."Read the full review

Viberg Service Boot BCT in Horween Natural Crust Double CordovanBy CellBlaster • April 6, 2024"This pair wasn’t really suited to the vibe of my workplace.

Prof Barnet, hot rod of boots.
Prof Barnets Bulky Neocliffwood Engineer Boots in Maryam Black Teacore TPR HorsebuttBy CoolGuy • April 6, 2024"These boots have been an extension of myself. Mud, dirt, sand, rain. I only need to get these through some snow. I have walked all day in the city, and all day on the trails and in the brush.
Since I got these boots. I have, for the most part, not let these things leave my feet. One of my favorite hobbies is to go for long walks. The day is not complete unless I have gotten my 10000 steps in. I am very fortunate and blessed to live minutes away from trails and rolling hills. There are plenty of steep precipices I have gone up and down using these with no issues at all.
Now I know I am supposed to rotate my boots for their longevity. The thing is, these boots are built different; I have found they can take it. Only after a taxing day of activity have I inspected the boots and given them their well-deserved rest. Aside from that, I do not leave home without them. They are so versatile, and, frankly, they still look great in a plethora of circumstances.
It is sad however that my long use has inevitably and undoubtedly worn down the heel quite quickly (especially considering that I usually trek hills). I need to get a resole before I continue with these boots or I will be walking on leather heels in no time. I will be sure to ask for a cobbler recommendation on the discord...."Read the full review

Onderhoud Low Cut LCV01 in Maryam Natural HorsebuttBy daftdonald • April 6, 2024"Mostly around Portland, where they saw a lot of rain. A little light wear in the mountains of east Oregon but not much as the makeup really isn’t made for winters in the mountains and I didn’t want to abuse them. They also went on some vacations and to a music festival..."Read the full review
