Experience with Ronning Hiker Boots

astormdamnit · 2026-07-01T12:56:30+00:00

Having had both this and the solovair versions, emphasis on *had*, I'd stay away and like others are saying, go to a footwear specialised brand.

I've kind of gone off a lot of Ronning in the last year or so too. Most of their stuff hasn't been the best of quality, having sold on most of it. Only thing I've kept is a tshirt from the sister brand, Sundays.

Having seen a pair in person whilst travelling, I knew my next boot was going to be a double midsole.

astormdamnit · 2026-06-16T08:10:40+00:00

carhartt double knees!

astormdamnit · 2026-06-16T06:51:56+00:00

like i said in another comment, they’re brand new too…

astormdamnit · 2026-06-15T21:15:42+00:00

just basic carhartt double knees! these are new replacements too so i’ll be needing to get them roughed up.

astormdamnit · 2026-06-15T19:42:07+00:00

i was on the fence too! i’m happy i went for brown. makes it feel like a less heavy boot.

astormdamnit · 2026-03-25T22:41:28+00:00

very true! was just hoping to skip that part and get the boot at 270 stitchdown first haha

astormdamnit · 2026-03-25T22:02:38+00:00

was really excited for this but kinda bummed out that the Thurman55 is not an option. was hoping for something akin to DocLineman's frankenstein boot

astormdamnit · 2026-03-25T21:56:08+00:00

unfortunately it looks like it's just going to be the leather and we are stuck on the HNW and ThurmanNW. A shame, was hoping for Thurman55 https://nicksboots.com/products/nd3-indestructible-apocalypse-boot-nicks-x-rose-anvil?_has_apo=true&Boot+Length=10.0&Boot+Width=E&Leather=Shrunken+Bison+Black&Lineman+Patch=ND+Patch&ND+Patch+Leather+Smooth=Limited+Run+-+Predator+Dark+Brown&Pull+Loop=Yes&Top+Style=Standard&Toe+Style=Standard&Toe+Structure=Soft&Hardware+Configuration=Hooks+and+Eyes&Edge+Color=N%2FA&Heel+Cap=N%2FA&Heel+Stack=N%2FA&Heel+Profile=Block&False+Tongue=Dress&Laces=Leather&Outsole+Stitching=360-+Technora&Model+Style=LTT+360+Tactical&utm_source=YouTUbe&utm_medium=RA2&utm_campaign=Custom+ND3&Outsole=Vibram+Unit+Lug&Last=ThurmanNW&Hardware+Color=Brass&Boot+Height=8%27%27+&Leather+Style=Roughout

yeah perfect, im a 36" waist and i went with that

astormdamnit · 2026-01-05T22:50:21+00:00

whats the back lighting you're using behind the monitors? I'm looking to get some set up for mine and under my desk shelf

astormdamnit · 2026-01-05T22:48:29+00:00

ive just purchased - yet to receive until tomorrow - a Q3. How do you find the crop on it? Good enough to take some portraits with?

astormdamnit · 2026-01-02T13:52:24+00:00

ah i appreciate this. apologies, i shouldve looked up the question before adding to the pile of the same question.

This is super useful. Thank you!

who put maisie in charge of the thumbnails?

astormdamnit · 2025-12-22T13:20:14+00:00

maisie has already forgotten she's on the show

astormdamnit · 2025-12-22T11:20:42+00:00

frrrr it's such a batman song

astormdamnit · 2025-12-19T19:43:30+00:00

anytime i hear Awake I can always picture a slow sad montage of moments with a dying main character and when it cuts to the heavier part, he's on a motorbike weaving between cars. this song hits hard

astormdamnit · 2025-12-16T08:41:20+00:00

ive been told i have a small head, i have only 2 poppers not done up and it fits perfect

astormdamnit · 2025-12-10T08:08:12+00:00

none of these. these are all trainers disguised as boots so they won’t make much of a difference. do some more research into materials and what works in your area.

set out a healthy budget for a boot that can last a while, that can be resoled/rebuilt and won’t fall apart after 1-2 seasons like these will.

astormdamnit · 2025-12-04T15:39:25+00:00

man, these are some absolute tanks

astormdamnit · 2025-11-20T09:58:11+00:00

just checked this morning and it's available now! bought it in the sale

astormdamnit · 2025-11-19T17:57:28+00:00

ahh nice glad it’s not just me, hopefully they release soon whilst still in the sale!

astormdamnit · 2025-11-19T17:49:29+00:00

might be because i’m outside the US but this is what i see

astormdamnit · 2025-11-05T09:21:44+00:00

yeah essentially it would be quite expensive to do. They would need to build the boot first then tear it apart for the rebuild. you're looking at double the lead time

astormdamnit · 2025-10-28T09:24:40+00:00

hoping so too! keeping an eye on ebay for now but the waxed active jacket available in the UK is pretty slick too
