6 months in this refined and versatile engineer
Role Club Engineer Boots in Maryam Toscanello TPR HorsebuttBy BamaBoyinTx • April 5, 2025"I’ve used my Role Clubs for just about any occasion that a work boot wouldn’t quite do. The refined silhouette make them suitable for the office, for date nights, to church, and to lots of happy hours. I’ve worn them in the rain, in the snow and to the ranch. It’s really a testament to how well built these boots are that I taken them everywhere and they still look amazing. These took awhile to break in… well honestly, I feel like I am still breaking them in. But these are the type of boots that just keep getting better and will serve me for years to come. The horsehide is amazing and is such an amazing leather...."Read the full review

A pleasant and enjoyable journey in a pair of Oak Street Trench boots.
Oak Street Bootmakers Trench Boot in Tempesti Walnut Overdye Camello AsportabileBy Spoon • April 5, 2025"These were a near constant companion every day with me at work. That is why you can see the strong "office" patina on these boots.
These were a part of my life for the last 6 months and accompanied me on all my adventures.
-Hiking around Acadia and then Vermont and New Hampshire
-When I met my current significant other, I was wearing these boots.
-When I visited family for the holidays, met my new niece for the first time, and traveled to my brother's wedding, i was wearing these boots.
Like every year, these dome boots have a place in my heart, given the life events that they were apart of and will be in the rotation because of it for many years to come...."Read the full review

A great journey with my selfmade boots through snow in Germany, rain in Scotland and a lot of miles
DIY Service Boot Model Stacy in Conceria Walpier Natural ButteroBy germanshoeguy • April 5, 2025"I wore them every other day for the first three months, then almost every day after I realized that double doming was not the way to go. I wore them to work, to the train, on a few hikes, on a trip to Scotland, and in all kinds of weather - from dry and sunny to snow and a lot of rain...."Read the full review
These boots look “hot”, as long as you’re willing to put up with a little bit of “crazy”.
Viberg Service Boot BCT in Horween Black Teacore Double Cordovan ButtsBy PerHansa • April 5, 2025"I wore these Vibergs everywhere, but most of the action took place in the cockpit. For the first two months I wore them to the training center every day, into the flight simulator, and out at night. For the next couple months I wore them on all my airline trips. Between the rudder pedals, and cramped spaces of a Boeing cockpit, they got banged around quite a bit. As they began showing their wear I retired them from work trips, put in some brown laces, and began wearing them for everything while home...."Read the full review
