Jim Green Razorback in Black Crazy HorseBy SeanAx • April 6, 2024"I've used these boots for work, for work on on my car, working outside, and going to concerts whether they be indoors or outdoors in the rain and mud. These boots handle everything like a champ...."Read the full review
To justify the cost, I knew I needed a pair of boots that were worth it. These boots are worth it.
Tahura Edulis in Maryam Natural Horsebutt & Guidi Black Reverse HorsebuttBy CowboyFriday • April 6, 2024"Opening the box had me worried. The leather was lighter than I thought it would be. The surface was already smudged by insect bites and abrasions in a couple places. I was tempted to baby these boots.
I'm glad I didn't.
For most of these boot's life, I worked at a food bank. They've have tracked through broken asphalt muck and reservation dust, and carry scratches from tumbleweed thorns. The first wear the soles got was endless trips back and forth between hard concrete and office carpet. Carrying boxes. Dragging pallets. Apparently I scuff the insides of my heels – I know there's a term for that, I've never learned it – these boots are a biography of my working life.
Later, in the early months of 2024, I transitioned to a hybrid work from home gig. I consider myself lucky and unlucky now, now. Less heavy lifting at work is a double edged sword. I hike my laptop out to parks and overlooks in these boots, to break up the monotony of the day. My boots are my companions – trusted coworkers. I hang out with them after we clock out, walk the local trail system in the evenings and watch the trees bloom into spring...."Read the full review
Boots tough enough for the job!
Nicks BuilderPro in Seidel WeatherShield Brown SmoothBy SirGilbert • April 5, 2024"These boots have been caked in mud, kicking a shovels, soaked through and through while repairing water main breaks. They’ve been used to rehab a water filter, from soup to nuts. They’ve been snow plowing, repairing chemical feed pumps, and performing lab work...."Read the full review
I have been amazed by these shoes. They have carried me all around the world in the last few months.
2120 Handcrafted Loafer in 4-5oz. Chrome Tanned LeatherBy ferment • April 5, 2024"I’ve had to travel quite a lot for work this year and they held up in rain and snow, mud , gravel, crazy Italian mountain sides, stone quarries, beach walks, 60+ flights and associated airport experiences.
I have a history of wearing shoes out, breaking uppers, wearing clean through soles. While these guys are about ready for new heal rubber, everything else is holding up extremely well. Nearly constant daily ware, no problem. I occasionally cleaned and brushed them as needed and recently had them shined. I plan on wearing them for many years to come. First dome great success..."Read the full review

Lou and Me
Wesco Mister Lou in Horween Brown ChromexcelBy Leetsalot • April 5, 2024"The majority of wear came in the form of work(retail). Wore them every shift for typically 9+ hours. They also accompanied me on plenty of dog walks, date nights, sporting events and even the symphony. Wore them in the small amount of snow my area received and some wet/muddy yard work...."Read the full review
Definitely mid. Firmly planted in the goldilocks zone of gyw boots.

People will think the expense is crazy, but these boots will last you almost your whole life!
Nicks BuilderPro in Seidel 1964 Brown SmoothBy timmoffatt • April 5, 2024"These have been my daily boots since day one. Rain, snow, ice, creeks, yard work, office work, they go where I go. I cut down a tree in these boots. I worked on the car and went on a road trip. I show them off to family. When I walked around the lumber yard for a weekend project they made me feel like one of the guys. When I wore them to drop the kids off at school I walked with a purpose...."Read the full review
Allen Edmonds Freeport Boot: A great overall boot
Allen Edmonds Freeport in Horween Natural ChromexcelBy mreams99 • April 5, 2024"I work from home most days and wore these nearly every day. I was not afraid to use them as “work boots” to do lawn work or to do a little work on a house I’m renovating in my spare time. They got pretty dirty at times working on that old house because I had to do work in the crawl space. I thought that I’d wear them often to shovel snow but I only had to shovel a couple of times in our milder-than-usual winter. They were easy to clean up to wear to other events...."Read the full review
Smart lil’ Cookie
Grant Stone Edward Boot in Badalassi Carlo Natural MinervaBy wirywill • April 5, 2024"I mainly used it in the office taking care of the onsite IT infrastructure. I usually commute with my old fixed gear bike. When it rains, I usually catch a bus. Shoutout to the horrible English weather for speeding up the patina process...."Read the full review

Grant Stone Ottawa Boot in Horween Dune ChromexcelBy bullmoose303 • April 5, 2024"Mostly in-office, but traveled to Europe in them, tons of walking, and used for rainy days as well due to the rubber outsole.

Rider Boot Co. Fritz in Maryam Toscanello HorsebuttBy n_1n • April 5, 2024"I have worn these boots basically daily for the last six months.
