6 months in...
Got these in February 2026 a week before a weekend trip to SF. Broke them in walking thousands of steps for three days with minimal pain or break in period (USE THEIR SIZING CHART!!!!).
Main reason I got these was to alternate between my BWF boots so I would not wear either pair daily.
I work in the housing market so mostly walking, inspections, and office work.
These are aging beautifully. Second pair and definitely recommend them to any that ask.
After years of RW, Chippewa, Docs, etc... nothing has come close to how these feel.
Built to last for sure. Leather is great and so far incredibly resilient.
Info on the boot:
Build your own
Shackleton Cognac
11.5 D
8" height
Moderate Block Heel
4 row toe cap.
I did cut the little dongles off the kiltie as it was leaving marks on the leather which seemed weird but no other explanation for the little dents and rubbing left.
Edited to fix kiltie instead of tongue.
