Nicks BuilderPro in Seidel 1964 Tan SmoothBy billdozer • April 5, 2025"I wore these to work every day as an hvac pipefitter. From roofs and penthouses to sub basements to manufacturing plants to walking the dog. I’m at a different facility every day, mostly in mechanical rooms or on a roof. The rooftops have been cold and snow covered, and the mechanical rooms can be a really hot boiler room. I spend a fair amount of time kneeling and have been surprised how well the toe leather has held up...."Read the full review

Perfectly worn-in and totally badass. Tank girl is shaking in her boots !
Vintos Boots Tanker in Black Full Grain LeatherBy Tankerbell • April 5, 2025"As the wise sage Demi Lovato once said..."who said I can't wear my converse with a dress? Oh baby...that's just me". This ye old proverb perfectly captures how I like to wear my boots. Although I spend a lot of time hiking, gardening, and stepping in dog sh*t, I am also a fashion girlie at heart. I love wearing my grungey boots with a black lace dress to go to concerts, movies, and city trips as well as wearing them to brave the horrific winters of upstate NY. The aggressively salted roads have corroded every car on my street and threatened to mess with the leather on my tankers...but they survived! I have high hopes they will live to see several more winters, and several more mosh pits too!..."Read the full review
