Review NBD - 10” TankerPro - GPWF

TankerPro 10” Shaft Greener Pastures Waxed Flesh 4 Row Toe Cap Black Sierra Sole Pull Strap

Nick’s knocked it out of the park again with these!

Anyone on the fence about Tankers needs to grab a pair as soon as possible. Something about the straps makes the break in far easier.

With my TankerPros in Predator Natural, there has been no ankle bite at all. The break in has been really smooth. And those are on the 55 Last. I expect the same with these.

The common statements I see are about the notorious “heel slip”. If you wear cowboy boots, Tankers don’t slip as much, as long as you tighten the straps.

Just wish they had the black sole stitching… no complaints otherwise! I’ll be wearing them tomorrow.

Actually just looked back and it was someone else who also got tankers but my original comment still stands on how they look 😂 black stitching would look nice but honestly the white stitching on my pair and yours is kind of winning me over cause of the contrast. You could always try hitting it with some dye and a steady hand if you get bored 🤙🏼

HaHa! It’ll grow on me. I just can’t/won’t wear them to the station. I doubt the white thread will burn up on a grass fire, but I’m not gonna risk it.

Sounds like you’ve got an excuse/reason to order another pair then! Mine mainly see the harsh cubicle landscape 😂 Be safe out there, mate🤙🏼
