These shoes should come with a warning label. Ever since I started wearing them, I can’t walk five steps without another group of women stopping me. Grocery store? Swarmed. Coffee shop? Numbers slipped into my latte sleeve. At this point, I spend more time dodging admirers than actually wearing the shoes. Don’t get me wrong, they’re comfortable and stylish—but managing a fan club was NOT in the product description. If you buy these, be prepared to hire an assistant.

They fit great, and I can actually do my walking for exercise in them in between my brakes at work.

I’ve had these boots for about a month. They’re incredibly comfortable. I’m very picky about my shoes and I personally hate buying shoes online, but these felt broken in right out of the box. They have great grip, they look very sharp, go great with casual and dress clothes and get compliments. The only thing I would change is to make the laces a little bit longer so that double tying is a little bit easier. Other than that nit pick they’re perfect. If you’re thinking about buying them, just go for it. You won’t be sorry.

I bought my first pair of Wilcox boots (Fairfax brown) around 2017 at a warehouse sale. If I remember correctly, these were all of the "defective" items that they couldn't sell at full price (I think my boots had a scuff on them when I purchased them). I have got to say that these are easily the most comfortable boots that I own, and they look amazing! I deal with a lot of agricultural businesses for work, and the Fairfax is my go-to when visiting clients. They're rugged enough to handle farms / factories / work sites, and "nice" enough to wear in my meetings with clients and business people. After 7 years, they have held up wonderfully, and I haven't needed to repair them at all! I'm wildly impressed with their build quality and the craftsmanship that was put into developing these boots. These days, it's rare that you see clothing/footwear that is built to last like these have. Plus, I get compliments on them all the time.

After buying my first pair of Wilcox last fall, they were so nice. I decided to save them for casual wear leather stack, teal and wingtip style. We’re just too nice for work I thought. I feel going up 1/2 size from my normal size is the most comfortable.
These KERN boots came in about a week to me in the upper Midwest. I wear them daily as a truck driver to give me support getting in and out of the truck and so my feet don’t swell while driving a day.

I just bought my second pair of Wilcox boots. I now have a black pair and a brown pair. They’re incredibly well built with the best materials. Rugged, comfortable, and stylish, they have it all.

First time ordering from Wilcox. I chose my usual size and they were a comfortable fit from the start. For me, they fit best with thick socks. Now, after wearing for a few days they feel like I've worn them for a long time. Very comfortable. I'm glad I can resole these and keep wearing them for years.

Tough, good looking and comfortable. I bought a second pair for going out.

The Wilcox Shiloh boot is exactly what I needed for when I want to clean up nice after a hard day at work or going out for the evening. They look fantastic, are light weight and rugged enough to be worn for work purposes, but they just look too nice for you to want to get them dirty! Very comfortable and can be worn out anywhere if you are a workboot kind of guy!

I've struggled for so long to find shoes not even just boots that fit my chunky feet.

I've had a problem with really sweaty feet for a long time and combining these with merino wool socks from Costco and a little oder eaters has completely changed the game for me. The leather on these boots are so soft and comfortable I've already planned to buy a few more to have on rotation.

Great boots for going out on the town, riding my motorcycle, and now I use my 6 year old pair in these pictures for work. I’m an excavator and now it’s really hot outside… I’ve started to wear these for a cooler alternative to my usual pair of watertight hiking boots. Very comfortable. Little too fancy for my type of work but since they are pretty old…I figured what do I have to loose. I definitely got my moneys worth out of this pair. My new ones are pretty much identical except for some slight changes company has made. I’m sure I’ll get years out of my new pair.

I bought these to replace a pair of fairfax boots i bought several years ago and simply wore them out. These seem to be a bit more narrow than my last pair and the leather is nice, but taking longer to break in. Over all for the price of these boots you can’t beat the quality and comfort.

I’ve got the Kern in brown with black soles and black with black soles. Super comfy right outta da box! No break-in required. Roomy toebox for heavier socks. I put a set of @generationlaces on both pairs and they were perfect! Definitely recommended.

I purchased a pair of Kerns for work after owning 2 pairs of Wilcox Fairfax, 1 black, 1 brown, which are my everyday go to outside of work. I found the Kern to be a little roomier in fit, very comfy, and the leather incredibly durable. I’ve delivered bread for 35 years and this job is surprisingly hard on shoes, usually the toes get chewed up from kicking around stacks of bread, a month in and they’re still flawless! I put in anywhere from 10,000 - 15,000 steps in a day and my feet have new life! I’ve always bought high quality shoes/boots especially for work, these are a game changer!
Things that can be improved upon:
Hook eyelets on the top two.
A bigger pull strap, I can’t hook my finger in there.

When it comes time to re-sole these, I will have the shoe cobbler put in bigger straps & hook eyelets.
Love these boots!

These insoles are a great way to restore the comfort of your Wilcox boot. I have a first Gen version of the Shiloh and the insoles were pretty worn out. No I don’t own the company. My name just happens to be Wilcox. Still waiting on the family discount :-)

Good sturdy laces as advertised. Perfect length for the Shiloh etc. but a bit long for Century so I had to cut them and make a new aglet.

I love my Wilcox boots this is my second pair of these boots and I'm still wearing the first pair! Best boots I've ever worn

I bought a pair of brown Shiloh boots about 5 years ago, and they have been my absolute favorite shoe to wear since then. I recently decided that I needed a black pair as well, so I ordered a pair in the Shiloh design. I'm not sure what they did, but Wilcox has made this design even better than before!! Super comfy, durable, and they look incredible! I've gotten a number of compliments on them, and everytime I wear them, I feel like it's going to be a great day. I'm a full time musician, so I need to have shoes that both look good and feel good. Wilcox boots deliver! Most of my fellow Texans love their cowboy boots, but I'm a little different, and Wilcox fits my style perfectly. Thank you for crafting an outstanding boot!

The Kern. Super comfortable right out of the box! Roomy toebox and cushy soles. This pair is a keeper!

I have wore a lot of boots! These provide excellent comfort. Wilcox found the perfect balance between casual dress and comfort. I even bought a second pair.

Masculine, high quality leather boots that go well with any casual winter outfits.

Still breaking them in as I feel friction at the heel, but gradually becoming more comfortable especially with thicker socks.

Fits true to size, and since I have a wider size E foot they also work well.

These boots are great!

Bought these as an alternative to dress shoes. They look great with slacks, jeans , or khakis.

Very comfortable out of the box and fit like a glove a week after daily wear!

I came from Leon where the boots are made and I used to do boots when I was a teenager this is a good quality

I am an art teacher and I was looking for a rugged boot that would take a beating and provide all day comfort. My classroom is made out of concrete so being on my feet for 10-12 hours a day adds up. The quality of the construction is great, it did take about a week to break in. I ordered a 1/2 size down from my normal shoe size and at 11.5 they fit well. They are comfortable to wear all day and even more so once broken in.
The only reason why I am not giving 5 stars is because they leave marks on my floor at work. Perhaps it is the coating of the concrete or the quality of the rubber on the boot, who knows. But I was a little disappointed that the sole was marking the floor.
Overall they are a great boot and I look forward to seeing how they hold up at the end of the school year. Pictures are of the first couple of weeks of wear.

As soon as I put them on they felt comfortable, still need a little breaking in but comfortable enough to wear right out of the box.
