The ruggedness of the Marion meets the refinement of the Zind, the Hollis is a boot perfect to complement any wardrobe. Made of supple full- grain Balthazar leather, it’s a work-boot style and dress boot combined to create a class of its own. The Mini-Lug sole offers traction and stability while still keeping a slimmer profile. The 415 last gives it a more narrow form while the double and triple stitch throughout make it a style versatile enough to accompany all of your outfits.

My first HELM. (Hollis) beautiful workmanship and quality. I ordered 9.5 due to my orthotic insert And it fits like a glove. It is an all around boots. The leather is fantastic. I’m still in the break in process and Already comfortable to wear all day at work.

So far these are one of the best pair of boots I've owned. I've been wearing a particular brand from Great Britain for a long time now, and although those are very good, you can tell the quality and craftsmanship in a pair of Helm boots immediately upon opening the box. I'll be back for another pair soon.

The boots are perfect for me… I can wear them with jeans or a suit. Fit great and have plenty of tread for the amount of walking I do. The icing on the cake was the super cool experience in the shop with Jilian, The Helm Boot guru.

The Helm Hollis is a grown-up, serious boot. Has a solid feel and substantial weight to it, arguably even more so than other brands I own (and like). This will be my new go-to pair to wear to the office, in the city, or even just while working from home. Ordered size 9D, my usual size. The leather at the top of the left boot was stiff at first, and I considered returning and/or exchanging the boots. It softened up, though, after a couple of days of wearing them indoors for short periods of time and on carpeted surfaces. Glad I gave them a chance. Now they feel great, and the compliments keep on coming. I know this won't be my last pair of Helm boots.

Coming out of break-in period of my first pair of quality boots - Helm Hollis in Black. Transisioning from Sneakers and sub $75 dollar shoes to something of high quality leather was a transition to manhood that is hard to explain. Looking forward to my second and third pair. {Hollis in Teak} is my next conquest. Lots of pride while wearing, with the occasional comment that solidifies my choice of brand! This boot has elevated my sense of fashion to a whole new level. Thank you to everyone that crafted them!! One hooked customer - Kevin
