The best daily boot that didn't fit...
Viberg Service Boot BCT in Maryam Port 1071 HorsebuttBy timelesstough • April 6, 2024"My boots have been with me 3-5 days a week through everything. They've been with me through office work, yard work, the delivery of my fifth child, and the death of my dog.
I often struggle to find boots that I can both wear to the office and running late night errands in sweatpants. These boots fit the bill...."Read the full review

As expected, better with wear
Parkhurst The Niagara in Seidel Natural Veg RetanBy li.40 • April 6, 2024"I wore these almost every day during the 6 months of the patina thunderdome. I would say a majority of the time were in the office or in a non-challenging situation. However, there were times I needed to be in the field to assist a team of surveyors in the rain and mud. These boots held up in those situations as well. These were also worn on a regular basis walking with my daughter around a neighborhood lake...."Read the full review
And overall amazing experience with a new last and a classic profile!

Great Escape indeed.
Iron Boots The Great Escape in Guidi Brown Washed HorsebuttBy jacktheenthusiast • April 6, 2024"I have worn my boots near daily. They really are like wearing covers for my feet by maintaining the comfort of being barefoot at home but everywhere I go. They have molded quite nicely to my daily life. I'm a dad. I take my 6 year olds to school, after school events, after school sport activities and weekend sport activities. I work in the city. I commute from the suburbs. I travel sometimes for work and for play. These "Great Escapes" have been a perfect travel companion to either throw in my bag or wear on the plane, train or in the car when I travel. I walk a lot daily either in the city or the suburbs and these boots don't remind me that I'm wearing them...."Read the full review
Headline you say? These are for anyone that kinda wants Color 8, Kudu, or W&C DS.
Nicks Free Range in Wickett & Craig Burgundy Double StuffedBy 907rx7 • April 6, 2024"I didn't wear these as often as some other contestants, originally double doming but I dropped the other pair out after month 2. I stuck to 4-5 days a week for these. I probably should have been in the open dome instead of the work dome since I ride a desk more than anything. They saw a few oil changes, a few trips to the Arctic Ocean, a bathroom remodel, daily snow with road salt, and countless office chair heel strikes...."Read the full review
Worn on and off for the dome. With work this year I wasn't out as much as I'd have liked to be.

The Parkhurst Allen is a great all around boot. It fits better than any shoe I have owned before.
Parkhurst The Allen in Rust WaxyBy timsilver • April 6, 2024"I have worn these for hikes, yard work, church, everything except working my job, which unfortunately, requires a specific shoe or I would be wearing these then as well...."Read the full review
Wax on. Wax off.
Willie's Handmade Boots Monkey Boot in Conceria Walpier Black Burro WhiskeyBy montyberns • April 6, 2024"Same as my other pair. For the most part these have been worn for work. Meaning they’ve been used to climb in and out of walls, put to use in a fabrication shop, installing artwork, painting galleries, etc.
There were a handful of short trips out of town where they got a bit of extra walking in them, and a handful of snow and rain days, but aside from a sudden series of early Spring shit weather days, they saw a fairly mild Dome.
However, the day before taking photos they did end up absolutely soaked in several inches of slushy snow.
Mostly though, they’ve commuted to the museum, commuted home, and repeated...."Read the full review

Viberg Boondocker in Horween Natural Chromexcel RoughoutBy yuswang • April 6, 2024"I wear them when I fix my car, to dog parks, hiking, did my first ever solo winter camping in desert, go to the office, visit factories, did my longest business trip to China(3 weeks). First time within 12 years gathering with my family member in Beijing during Chinese New Year. It has been many of occasions and this Boots never let me down...."Read the full review

Fortis Custom DAKAR with Logger in Horween Java Waxed FleshBy toddblas • April 6, 2024"Out of all my boots, these are by far the most comfortable, easiest to break in pair I have ever owned.
