Joosep –
I’ve been a proud owner of Pilot boots for over three years, and here’s my take on them. The boots exhibit admirable durability and perform excellently across three seasons, but they fall short during the hot summer days. The rich, thick black leather is of superior quality, offering longevity and a sharp look. However, this high-grade material and the internal lining compromise the boots’ breathability during summer. The heat retention makes them slightly uncomfortable in hot weather conditions, making them less than ideal for summertime wear. For the rest of the year, the Pilot boots stand out as a superior choice. They stay true to their promise of comfort, sturdiness, and an appealing aesthetic. Despite the summertime setback, the Pilots are an excellent investment for conscious consumers who don’t care about wearing trending brands
