    Boot recommendations

    Hello! My Lowa’s did not break down or separate until around halfway through my sophomore year. When they did, a hole started to form near the toe section (as far as I can remember). I was very surprised and pleased with how long they lasted. The coyote brown will be the color needed for beast...

    USAFA Class of 2022 Appointment Thread

    @2021mom I was a self-preppie! Best decision I've made in my life. I made relationships that'll last a life time, got into crazy good shape (lost 10 pounds and set a new personal record in the mile of 5:59!), and increased my ACT/SAT test scores! A very valuable experience that I wouldn't trade...
