Maverick Black

I have had the Maverick boots for over 2 years now, and they have held up beautifully. I wear them at least every other day, but some times as often as 5 days a week, and they have only become more comfortable with age. They were very stiff when I first got them, owing to their cow leather, but have since softened up and molded to my food. Though they are a few years old, the sole is still looking good, and I haven't gained any scuffs that I couldn't polish out with some mink oil. I bought these because I wanted a very durable pair of boots that I didn't have to baby, and these have held up better than I couldn't imagine. The construction seems excellent, and the stitching and lemonwood pegs have stayed in place, and still look as good as new. I haven't been able to find out what material is in the heel cap or the toe cap, but it does feel like leather as well and is still stiff, but pliable. I'm going to be in the market for another pair of boots soon, and while my price point has made it possible for me to get a pair of luccheses or rio's, I will probably just get another pair of these and keep one as more of a dress boot, and the other as a beater.

I also have the Capistranos, and they have held up beautifully as well, though while they retain a very elegant look with the calf skin, I think they would be the perfect pair of boots if they came in a thicker cowhide as well. Ranch Road makes some really excellent boots, and if you get a pair, they will last you a long time,…
