Why Saddleback Leather Make High Quality Leather Boots
What Makes a Quality Leather Boot? The Four Keys
These were my first ever purchase of boots that I would consider Premium Tier, and while I had concerns, Saddleback delivered and then some! My boots were certainly snug (Brannock size was my reference), but Saddleback also has the online chat and they responded VERY promptly and were very helpful in answering my questions. The materials are some of the best, the leather smell was exactly as I expected, and the more I wear these boots, the better they feel. I can easily imagine these fitting like a glove after a few months of wear, and Dave Munson's YouTube videos did these boots all the justice they deserve! Can't say whether or not they make pain go away, but I do have a bunion on my left foot that is making that boot just a little uncomfortable when the boots first go on in the morning, but after just a few attempts, I learned about how tight the laces needed to be in order to give that 'like a glove' feel without painful rubbing. The leather sole is an interesting choice, have rarely seen those in today's world where hard rubber lug soles are very common, and I have yet to wear them in wet conditions, but as long as there is some texture on the ground, I feel safe wearing them. Wet textured ground won't be a concern for me, but I think my first real test will be coming inside after walking on wet ground into smooth surfaces like marble or concrete. While they are not a "do it all" type of boot, these certainly make me stand just a little straighter and I don't regret the purchase at all. Next up, Raven Black!
Pre-ordered these as I've been a long-time SBL customer and couldn't be more excited with the final product. Just starting my 'break-in' period with them and already my go-to boots. Already anticipate ordering another pair in another color. Great work SBL and excited for your continued growth into the quality footwear sector (would love to see a pair of loafers or dress moccasins added to the lineup).
They’re not just boots; they’re a legacy you wear. Worth every single cent! I am already planning my next purchase.
I’ve been wearing the SBL boots almost daily for just under two months, and they’ve become a staple in my wardrobe. When I first got them, they were definitely on the stiff side, but after a relatively short break-in period they feel like they were custom-made for my feet. Aesthetically, these boots are stunning. I’ve received a lot of compliments, and they really elevate whatever I’m wearing—whether it’s a blue suit, chinos, or even a pair of light jeans. The English Tan color starts off much lighter than expected, but with a bit of conditioner and about a week of wear, they darken to a beautiful amber-brown that’s classy and unique. The only downside is that the distinctive color doesn't match everything in my closet, and occasionally I have to revert back to my old brown boots for the sake of coordination. Build quality is exactly what you’d expect from Saddleback: top-tier. The leather feels luxurious, thick, and strong, but it's not invincible. It scratches fairly easily, so you'll want to be mindful of that if you're rough on your footwear. The sole... while comfortable and well-made, it lacks traction. I’m hesitant to wear them out in the rain for fear of falling. That said, they do feel like boots that could last 100 years with the right care. Verdict: These are the best-looking and best-feeling boots I’ve ever worn. They’re not perfect for every occasion or outfit, and I wish they had better grip, but overall, I’m thrilled with them. If you want craftsmanship, comfort, and compliments, the Saddleback boots are worth every penny.
I have Red Wings, Nick's, White's, and more boots than I know what to do with. I was given these to test and compare, and while my other boots serve their unique purpose, these boots feel great and are versatile. You can dress them up or down and they still work.
