I ordered a pair of Tukano boots and asked for an 8" shaft for ankle support. The boots have been my go to for hiking and basically anything outdoors. The boots are truly heritage design, quality and materials. Truly boots you could hand down to the next generation. I could not be more pleased.
Rating: ★★★★☆ (4/5)Review: I have been wearing my Bordon Boots for a full year now, and I am incredibly happy with the overall package. The standout feature is absolutely the craftsmanship. The construction is robust, the stitching is clean, and the main leather panels have held up beautifully to regular wear. It is clear that the makers care about producing a high-quality product. That being said, I have two small pieces of feedback for potential buyers and the brand: 1- The Tongue Leather: While the rest of the boot uses exceptional materials, I feel the tongue should automatically feature the exact same quality leather as the rest of the upper. Upgrading this would truly elevate the premium feel of the boot. 2- Sizing Runs Small: Be aware that the sizing runs a bit small. I even contacted (Andres) the makers directly and followed their exact recommendation, but the boots still arrived tighter than expected. I highly recommend sizing up slightly or double-checking your measurements. Overall, these are fantastic boots made by skilled creators. If they tweak the tongue materials and fine-tune the sizing guidance, they would be absolutely perfect.
Nice passport/Id holder. Has a ticket pocket that I don’t think people use anymore. Might be nice to close the bottom of that slot to carry another card or something.
Fantastic pair of boots! The leather is exactly what I was looking for, and the folks at Bordon built them exactly right. They were even able to give me a double midsole, which helps me out a ton. I have already ordered another pair of boots, and I cannot wait to get them!
