It's been a pleasure experiencing the break in process of Nicks flagship boot
Nicks BuilderPro in Seidel 1964 MonarchBy Idale77 • November 2, 2024"I wear these boots for my M-F job in public works. The work I do varies. Some days I'm doing various jobs or projects on my feet on asphalt or concrete. Some days I'm operating machinery or driving a truck. This past month has been very dry and dusty. They get wet occasionally when I'm cleaning equipment, but have not been in the rain yet...."Read the full review

2 week initial impressions. Break in, leather, construction, etc..
Thursday Black Label Challenger in Maryam Natural Horsebutt Overdyed BlackBy indi.raw.oninsb • November 1, 2024"Worn daily to work 8-12hrs a day. I work in a brewery so my boots get wet every day, get exposed to chemicals, and can get filthy with grit and grime. I tend to move/kick things around a lot or use my feet to hold doors or what have you. I have also worn them for general leisure and for stomping the faire grounds at TRF...."Read the full review
The Journey of a Lifetime: Redwing Beckhams Worn Through Miles and Memories
Red Wing Beckman in S.B. Foot Cigar FeatherstoneBy brianscotty • October 31, 2024"These boots have seen it all—from snowy New York mornings shoveling out my car to sunny San Diego bike rides into the office. Through each season, they’ve held up beautifully, taking on the unique wear of each journey. Every crease and scuff tells a story of miles traveled and weather braved...."Read the full review

Five year review: Truman natural shell derbies
Truman Derby in Horween Unglazed Natural Shell CordovanBy loralrose • October 29, 2024"On average I wear these about once per week plus the occasional evening out.
I don’t wear them for really rough work-boots stuff, but everything else is fair game. I don’t baby them at all… they’ve been on dusty nature walks, beach sand, grassy fields, mud puddles, etc. I walk 5-10 miles per day around town, so they’ve seen a lot of pavement too.
These are also my “nice” shoes for formal occasions - or at least what passes as formal in the rural Pacific Northwest. They kept my feet cozy during my college graduation, conference presentations, two rounds of jury duty, and several job interviews...."Read the full review
Well worth the wait
White's Bounty Hunter in Horween Cinnamon Waxed Flesh & Horweem Olive Waxed FleshBy dwbrunton • October 29, 2024"This is my 3rd pair of White's boots but my first custom order. My choice of the C461 last was two fold (take advantage of the full customisation experience) and more importantly, the aesthetic of the sprung toe.
My other White's boots are on the 1972 last (perry select) and the mp last - both in 9.5. While I can and have worn each of those for extended periods without issue, neither of them prepared me for the comfort of the C461.
This last may be the perfect last for me. Sized half down from HTT Brannock to a 10, these boots feel like nothing I have worn before. The arch is just high enough so you know it's there and giving my feet a stability that makes the boot feel a part of my feet and very firmly grounded...."Read the full review
