My first experience with Sagara Bootmaker of Indonesia was not all that positive. Several years ago, my brother bought a pair of Sagara derby shoes in a local Indonesian leather. They were nicely put together, especially for the price, but the upper leather, outsole leather, and rubber heels all cracked and/or deteriorated quite rapidly. I… Continue reading My Favorite Indonesian Boots: Sagara Shell Cordovan Cordmaster Boot Review
One Outfit for the Rest of Your Life: The Desert Island/Cartoon Character Outfit
In the previous article, I discussed my ultimate capsule wardrobe. This involved choosing a few items in each category that all worked together.

How Good are Outsourced Boots and Shoes? Grant Stone Review

Technically, The Rite Stuff is outsourced because it’s a brand… Continue reading How Good are Outsourced Boots and Shoes? Grant Stone Review
