Another Dome Done
White's Bounty Hunter in Horween Cinnamon Waxed FleshBy onelastboot • April 8, 2025"Man these things took a minute to get going. I tried to wear them hard especially during the second half of the dome. These boots were worn on a ton of hikes through the Georgia mountains. Wore them to help my friend move a piano down three flights of ice covered stairs (do not recommend with leather soles). They also saw their fair share of skating. Managed to land a few kickflips, Ollie down some stairs, but sadly did not land the elusive tre flip. Overall fantastic boots...."Read the full review
Great Boots!
Parkhurst The Richmond in Driftwood Waxy CommanderBy MichaelCarpenter • April 7, 2025"I have worn these boots almost everyday for the duration of the Thunderdome. Only wearing other boots on maybe 3 or 4 days. Being in the winter they got exposed to a little cool to cold weather. On the colder days I wore thicker socks. I used these as work and casual boots. They work well for that , while not safety boots I have those to change to if needed, which is only occasionally...."Read the full review

Started as fun project, ended in a professional hashtag
Rios of Mercedes 1971N in Tan HorsebuttBy OnlyTans2023 • April 6, 2025"From NH to WA and MN to TX these boots have collected some frequent flyer miles.
I’m an electrician by trade that has moved into the BD/sales side of the business. So these boots have been exposed to a multitude of climates and events in my last 6months.
From asshole deep snow walking a job in to taking a pair of boots to Wesco in Oregon to get rebuilt while on a work trip.
They were on my feet when I came to TX from Indiana for a job interview in Dec and I just took their last pictures in the back yard of my apartment in Texas and yes they were on my feet when I moved down here in a couple of suitcases
These boots have been conversation starters, so much so that I started a new hashtag on LinkedIn

Convenience came with Affordability
Meermin Chelsea Boot in Whiskey Heritage Shell CordovanBy Syzygy • April 6, 2025"This year, I stepped out of my comfort zone and picked up a pair of shearling Chelsea boots from Meermin. Seriously. I used to wear sneakers and now it’s mostly service boots. They fit perfectly and were adaptable to custom orthotics once the extreme cold subsided. As Chelsea boots made of shell cordovan, they handled jobsites extremely well. I used them for various tasks, including cutting concrete, installing drains, painting, sanding walls, sanding my car, hammering, installing soffit lights, installing receptacles and lights, walking my dogs, shoveling snow, and more.
I did my best to coat these boots in Sno-Seal right before the first snowfall, and I think they held up rather well. Salt stains are inevitable, and I have come to embrace them. Initially, they look very ugly, but they blend over time. The Meermin shell cordovan was quite rough once the factory finish came off. After cleaning it with saddle soap, there is a nice subtle shine to the leather. It still has plenty of structure to it; if you squeeze it from the sides, it springs back to shape like rubber.
I will definitely keep on wearing these boots until the next Thunderdome. They’re simply too convenient to put on and run out the door...."Read the full review
Tough daily drivers that I looked forward to beating up every day
Viberg Service Boot in Horween Brown Waxed FleshBy pesayerm • April 6, 2025"I wore these everywhere during the dome, they were my main boots for 6 months. I wore these in rain, snow, and mud, on the playground with my kids, on long dog walks, hikes, and everything in between. At times these felt a bit too “refined” in certain situations, but overall these were a lot of fun to wear and looked good with just about everything in my wardrobe...."Read the full review
