Viberg Service Boot in Horween Natural ChromexcelBy Rob • April 5, 2024"These have been worn to work, used for yard work and hiking in the mountains, and soaked in 3” of standing freezing rain at the Ravens vs Steelers game. They’ve seen snow and salt and held up well...."Read the full review
Sleek and tough all in one
Briselblack The Kai Jodhpur in Black-Overdyed HorsebuttBy solidsalami117 • April 5, 2024"I wore these bad boys every other day whether going to the office or visiting a construction site. They saw dust, mud and concrete, as well as polished marble and carpet. I love these because they are tanks that can take a beating while still looking great with chinos in an office setting...."Read the full review

Great leather, style, and comfort. Wears like steel, looks good without any leather care.

White's 350 Cutter in Seidel Brown DressBy solidsalami117 • April 5, 2024"These boots have served me well this year. I wore these every other day whether going to the office, walking a large and active construction site, or vacationing in the US. They have seen mud, dirt, shrubbery, dust, asphalt, concrete, marble flooring… sometimes they were too rugged for the occasion, tracking mud into my cubicle, whereas other times they have saved my toes from tar or screws...."Read the full review
Kinda forced myself to dome these.

Winery work, 500+ miles, rain, snow and one pair of laces down, a lifetime of patina left to go.
Flame Panda Service Boot in Natural Roughout HorsebuttBy ccasenhiser • April 5, 2024"Two months of involvement in a production winery: been splattered with fermenting grape must, brushed up against and clambered over countless barrels.
Many months of walking 2-3 miles/day to and from work in DC. Lots of rain, snow, and office chair heel clicks. Usually wearing black denim, hence the light crocking.
Wore these to fancy wine dinners, in cellars, on Oregon beaches, in Georgia clay, through many vineyards and countless TSA scans. They have been complemented by many customers that incorrectly thought I couldn’t get any stranger (ever heard of a Discord dedicated to handmade boots?) and hyped up by passersby on the streets of NYC. Perhaps most importantly, the laces have been the pride and joy of our cat, Sesame...."Read the full review
Great boot for casual and workplace ware, easy to break in and low maintenance leather.
Meermin Service Boot in C.F. Stead Leaf Green Waxy Commander SuedeBy mjones15 • April 5, 2024"I wore these boots mostly for work but also whenever I was traveling. I’ve been to NYC and Barcelona as well as hikes and some heavy rain. This boot took it all in stride..."Read the full review
A worthwhile endeavor. Hoping to make many more pairs.
DIY Lace To Toe in Austrian Cow Leather, vegetable Tanned, (reversed) waxed fleshBy baschdln • April 5, 2024"I’ve worn these boots almost exclusively and almost every day. I wanted to wear them as if they were my only pair which means do all task while wearing them but also take good care of them This included a lot of rainy bike commutes (because Denmark…) to the office but also when doing smaller tasks around the house and garden. I like that the leather is easy to clean and easy to give a gentle shine.
There’s been a few situations in which they got very wet or once completely soaked in mud but were always easy to clean up again. The right boot has suffered more because my bike has studded tires in winter and when in a rush they got scratched.
I’ve also spent 10 days in our cabin in the middle of the woods in Norway over New Year’s in very cold (-25°C/-13°F) conditions and hip-deep snow. That was not planned as I was sure I had some Red Wing ice cutters stored there which was incorrect. Soles performed terribly in the snow as they became very hard and offered zero grip and provided virtually no insulation. Next year I’ll choose some mini lug soles as a minimum...."Read the full review
Victorian boots with very comfortable heel and built, and impeccable style. Ideal for any occasion.
Stockerpoint Stiefel 4490 Handmade in Unknown LeatherBy init • April 5, 2024"I wore them everywhere. Due to comfortable heel and built I could use the boots on a number of occasions (whether on rainy walks, to the office, or driving a car)...."Read the full review
An exciting start to a new journey with the the best boots I've ever owned.
Nicks Free Range in Wickett & Craig Buck Brown Double StuffedBy Chippygyver • April 5, 2024"Worn daily to my job in heavy duty truck parts sales and deliver. Lots of walking at shops, farms and truck yards so plenty of mud, rain, snow, etc. Usually badly in need of some love by the end of the week. They clean up well enough. They've been to a wedding, some company events, date nights, and just every day activities on the weekend. They even made it to the Gulf Coast this year...."Read the full review
A ribbiting good time!
Jim Green African Ranger in Fudge Crazy HorseBy basicmechengineer • April 5, 2024"I mainly wore my boots to work, which is an office environment. Outside of work, I wore them everywhere I could. From going to the store, walking and playing with the dog, and even going to Mass. These boots have trekked through woods and fields, hunting small game. Worked around my in-laws farm, checked fields, cleaned grain bins, fed steers, and repaired and moved equipment around. They have put up with all the weather Mother Nature could think of, everything from rain to snow, hail to ice storms, the random occasion when the sun decides to peek through, and A LOT of mud...."Read the full review

My Everyday Boots
Grant Stone Nora Boot in Badalassi Carlo Saddle Tan MinervaBy specgirl8 • April 5, 2024"My Nora boots have had near constant wear since November 1, 2023. I have not worn them seven days in all that time, and three of those I did not wear shoes. I have worn them running errands, on road trips, to the beach, to the river, fishing on the Chesapeake Bay, to a Congressional Subcommittee hearing, to the chiropractor, out with friends, and taking care of my elderly parents. Wherever I went, my Grant Stone Nora boots went with me with my feet in them.
They have been in rain, snow, sand, dirt, mud, grass, gravel, and sunshine...."Read the full review
