These here boots have some miles on them and no doubt are accompanied by a rich history that penetrates deep into the sole. Gnarly, weathered, battered, mud caked and done broke down not just broke in. Yet, and still, the innate character and simple ruggedness of the staid boots makes one ponder curiously about the miles they have seen and the surfaces they have trod. I can tell you for sure these boots were headed for glory on a number of occasions. But, there is just something about the pair that made throwing them out unthinkable. That very act might well constitute a crime against human endeavor, quality craftsmanship and artistry. Like so many of the items we have on site, we truly appreciate the genesis of their creation and are taking the time to care, preserve and allow these wonderful hand crafted items to continue on with a useful, albeit, re-purposed life.
