Sale
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 Krumenauer 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.

Nice Boots
It’s been pretty good. There is a small issue I’ve been meaning to reach out about. The footbed of the right boot under the liner ‘bunched up’ after my first day of continuous wear developing a ‘ridge’ between my toes and the ball of my foot making the right boot less comfortable than the left. Can this be rectified!

Excellent boots!
I wore my Hollis boots on day 1 walking about 5 miles around Austin, TX and they felt great! They keep getting more comfortable and, after 60 days, they’ve become one of the best pair of boots I’ve owned. They’re especially nice for travel because I can wear them in the airport with casual clothes and then wear them with business dress later after arrival. Excellent boots for dress and casual. I’ll be purchasing a black pair soon.

Great value!
Excellent quality! These will last you a long time. Leather is very supple and break in very easily. I love them!

A well-built, comfortable and stylish boot.
I got these boots because I need ankle support, but I don't want to look silly wearing hiking boots at work anymore. I also cross-shopped with the heritage collection from Red Wing shoes, but found that I liked the Hollis boot better (not to mention a better price!). I've been wearing my Hollis for about a month now. They've been comfortable right from the start, and I receive lots of compliments on them. It is a little hard to keep them unscuffed with my lifestyle, but that's true for any leather. I really like how easy they are to get into (leather lining helps with this), but be aware that they don't provide much insulation, so you need to use warm socks in the winter months. I'm curious to see how many years they last!
