The Ryder Olive
The Ryder is a contemporary boot for all adventures. Taking inspiration from a classic hiking boot, the Ryder incorporates traditional elements of functionality with the rugged and long-lasting Stavos sole as well as d-ring hardware and two speed hooks for easy lacing, and pairs those elements with a modern design and elevated materials. Made of beautiful Babbo leather in Olive, the Ryder is a polished finish to any wardrobe for any adventure the day brings you.

United StatesThe boot itself is great. Once worn in, I believe it will be one of the more comfortable pair of boots I've had. However, the quality of the laces it where it loses a star. With the narrow metal edges of the speed hooks, the laces frayed and broke after only a few times lacing them up. Where it loses another star is I filled out a form online to ask about replacements and never received a response. I have since sourced a better lace from somewhere else and hope that will solve the issue.
United StatesThe fit and finish of these Ryder boots are very nice. I have the Nils shoes and definitely prefer the mini-lug sole, as I believe it makes a better sole for a boot. This boot isn’t quite what I was looking for, however many will likely be pleased with them. The laces are lightweight, and I was certainly expecting more durable laces for a boot. Disappointed with the laces and mine are starting to wear after relatively little wear. Love the Helm brand, though.
United StatesI'm extremely happy with these boots. I have several pairs of Helm boots. They're all great, but these go beyond that. The olive color is gorgeous, and the leather is both strong and supple. These are very easy to break in, comfortable right out of the box. The padded collar also adds to the comfort. Buy a pair.
United States United StatesThese Ryders are multi-functional and look stylish on my bird-like legs.
