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

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
