How do I put in the headline? Anyway...I wore these as my weekenders and daily evenings.
Oak Street Bootmakers Trench Boot in Horween Natural ChromexcelBy twigglekitty73 • April 2, 2024"I wore them as often as I could. Mostly to walk the dog on concrete sidewalks. I work construction during the day, so they were weekend and evening boots. They weren't made for winter, so I gave them a rest on as now and slushy days...."Read the full review
Sorry I told your aunt she was “embarrassing herself” when she said she had never heard of Nicks.
Nicks Free Range in Wickett & Craig Tan Oiled LatigoBy varnu • April 2, 2024"I wore these religiously for six months. A couple vacations, a few long weekends, day hikes in the woods, lots of bars and restaurants. Walking around the city several days a week as well as kicking my feet up and just about anything below waist height. I wish I had the chance this winter to stomp around in more snow, but it was lacking. Didn’t hesitate to get them wet, though...."Read the full review
A beautiful MTM boot that is worth the price of admission
WM1978 French Army Boot in Tochigi Natural Cowhide RoughoutBy ahuebner • April 2, 2024"Roughly 1000 city miles for this pair. Took them on a few hikes and they walked on three continents during the dome. My pair saw quite a bit of rain in the winter time, but mostly it was sun and miles that led to the wear on this pair...."Read the full review
A fickle and delicate beast
Viberg Service Boot BCT in Shinki Cognac Teacore HorsebuttBy thatguy92 • April 2, 2024"My lifestyle was primarily one of a “five days a week” office job. Carpet and sitting at a desk all day only can provide so much patina, but these boots got plenty of casual (including at boot camp) and weekend wear. As I took a new job at the turn of the year and began a work from home job, the number of wears declined a bit but saw a higher percentage of wear in casual settings.
Given I had to wear these in an office environment, I elected to not wear them on rainy days as much as possible to avoid the typical Shinki water spotting...."Read the full review
Boots.
Viberg Boondocker in Maryam Olive TPR HorsebuttBy tooth • April 2, 2024"I wore these pretty much everyday unless it was raining, snowing, or I was doing something that I didn’t want to do in these boots (ie: hiking, shoveling, etc) that I felt would detract from the overall aesthetic I was hoping for from these boots... I didn’t want to ‘force’ patina.
However, these got me to walk more and extend my daily walks as I just really enjoyed wearing them. My average daily number of steps for the 6 months was 8,360...."Read the full review

NF Bootmaker Milton Boot in Maryam Waxy Salvia HorsebuttBy drew_altizer • April 2, 2024"I don’t always wear boots and I work from home for now so I sometimes don’t wear any shoes whatsoever, so these didn’t get daily wear. They were great for travel because I could wear them in almost any situation, even fairly ones. They saw plenty of water, some mud, and even a little bit of sidewalk salt...."Read the full review

BLKBRD Bulwark Trek Boot in Horween Natural ChromexcelBy technolounge1001 • April 2, 2024"This boot I have been using for commute to work in Boston, and many times continued it with dress in office as well. It felt good with dress pants as well, probably due to comfort.
Have used these boots for outside travel, blowing leafs in fall, plowing snow in storms, and recently built a whole fire pit with seating area in my backyard with these boots...."Read the full review
Wearing my Iron Rangers these last six months has been a blast.
Red Wing Iron Ranger in S.B. Foot Hawthorne MuleskinnerBy onelastboot • April 2, 2024"I've worn these boots pretty much every day since the dome began. They've seen plenty of mountain trails, hiked a few river banks, and were my best friends when it came to playing disc golf...despite what my friends might have said. These boots were with me when I visited my family in Ohio and were on my feet while editing hundreds of hours of audio for the Shoecast. I even took these boots skateboarding and landed a sketchy kickflip on them. They've been great. I've tried to wear them hard but also take care of them...."Read the full review
