I’ve been a fan of Zerrows for a few years now. I already have the low Boneakers but I always wanted to try the regular boot version. I thought it would be cool to ask for a custom leather not offered on the website. I had seen a pair of natural horse butt engineers on their IG page. They agreed to the build with my dream leather, unstructured toe, 2 added speed hooks and the Vibram 1010 sole. I was stoked. They managed to complete the build just in time to enter this years Thunderdome. i wear these for my job as an art handler. I walk and work on hard concrete floors all day so the wedge sole really helps to soften the blow. The lower height of 5 inches is perfect as my job requires a lot pf movement and flexibility. The soft horsebutt has been a pleasure to break in and has molded perfectly to the shape of my feet. I love these boots
Zerrows has been very accommodating. I contacted them via IG messages. Very responsive and easy to communicate with them. I told them my desired options and they readily agreed. He even created a custom order page for me on the website so I could select my desired options. It was pretty great and thoughtful of them.
I have worn these for work and casual occasions. Basically I wore them nearly everyday for the past six months. I’ve traveled to Europe on these boots. Worked a handful of major art fairs and custom installation projects with these beauties. I’ve traveled the USA as well in them. Its been a pleasure to wear and break them in. It did take a little time and effort. I have a wide forefoot which takes a little time for the leather to conform. The soles have stood up fairly well considering how much walking I have done in them. Probably not quite ready for a resole. I did notice the speed hooks are pulling out so I’ll need a cobbler to repair the hooks.
I love this leather. It has aged and darkened really well. I haven’t gone easy on these boots. Zerrows makes a really burly and tough boot. They can easily withstand some really heavy wear. They Maryam HB really does get better with age.
Honestly… I love everything about this boot and wouldn’t change one thing. I think they are perfect
Comfortable for everyday wear and working on concrete. Tough enough to withstand all the labor but still soft and comfortable to ease the pain. My joints and knees were never sore at the end of the day. And some work days can be 16 hours long… no complaints
Its been a joy to wear these boots. I’ve really enjoyed the journey and the community of fellow boots enthusiasts. Zerrows is a wonderful brand. The boots are beautiful. Really well made and super comfortable. The Zerrows Boneakers are a really great value as well. Its really hard to find a custom made boot at this price point. Zerrows really knocks it out of the park. This Thunderdome is a lot of fun. I hope to be able to participate in this experiment again.
