Long story short, yes I would buy these again, yes I would recommend them to a friend. Just be patient when ordering, good things take time.
The fit and finish is amazing. I was very happy when I received them. I have been wearing them a lot and still trying to get them fully broken in. My only recommendation for improvement is not in the product, but in the ordering help and communication which seems to have improved since I purchased mine. I understand that as a small company this is difficult, especially when handling lots of orders. And I’m not saying that I’ve had a bad experience, I was just hoping for more communication on when my order would ship or sizing information, or other related updates.
I love these boots! This is my second pair of Bordon boots and the quality and finish is amazing. I would recomend them to anyone. They are boots that you will have for life.
Boots are good quality, however wait time was ~13months. Break in at least for me terrible, seams it is still unbroken for 100% after almost 1 year.. maybe sizing was not correct and I have really bad pressure spot on top of feet, so I can't wear them for very long period
Where to start? It took longer than expected to receive my pair—about a year and a half from the time of purchase. Communication wasn’t always prompt. However, I didn’t have an issue with it. Natalia and Andres were always professional and forthcoming about the progress of my order.
I’m still breaking the boots in. There is a lot of leather, and they were built to last. It’s obvious that craftsmanship and quality aren’t just slogans at Bordon; they are standards that speak volumes about their passion and dedication.
I am genuinely happy to have a pair of Bordon boots, despite how frustrating the wait can be.
The leather is honestly some of the most robust i have ever worn. It felt stiff for the first week or so i was breaking it in and while it has not been fully broken in, the comfort level just keeps getting better and better!
I have had companies with more resources and less turnaround time deliver boots that were inferior to these on some level, whether it was an off-center pull loop or the leather being not quite as described.
My experience with Bordon has been backed up by social media reviews of all kinds and it's this; you will have to wait linger than you might expect, but place your order with absolute confidence that if you measure your feet accurately and order as Bordon suggests, the boots you receive will be something you want to keep for the rest of your life!
I have been blown away by how well the boots are aging and how much the comfort level has grown since I started wearing them. If I could keep only a handful of boot pairs from my current collection, these would be either the FIRST pair I keep or the second, depending on where I would be living when the choice was to be made.
Slam Dunk Bordon, I placed an order for your newest leather, I believe its called Waxed Suede, and whiel I may not get them until mid-2027, I call that WELL worth the time and money invested!
