The first was acquired last year. Black Friday. I liked them enough that I bought a second pair in July. I now have 3 pairs.
The leather is thick, heavy, and stiff. They take a lot of breaking in. Not for those with delicate feet.
Not for the "woke" crowd. Especially if you care about things like race relations, politics, sustainability of shipping consumer goods across the globe, etc.
Due to the exchange rate of the Rand versus the Dollar, the sale price is on the low end for the quality of the product. Comparable quality could cost twice as much from other shoe companies.
The most interesting thing is that they have a custom boot builder on the website. You can pick your own last, leather, sole, color, etc. They will custom build your boots to order.
