Resolable, rebuildable work shoe

[riser4]

Im interested in a work shoe with safety toe and zero heel rise for my really weird feet. Something that is at home on a factory or warehouse floor and I can stand or walk in all day up multiple flights of stairs.

yeah they have to apprentice somewhere I believe there are also an inordinate amount of boot makers in nelson where my buddy apprenticed and then wanted to come back north he has shown me around his shop all the machines are ancient and he has to fix whatever breaks

White’s is the OG.
Nick worked at White’s
JK worked at one of the above.
Spokane is kinda geographically central to the western logging industry.


^^ That and the mining districts in N Idaho used Spokane as their central source of supply. I think JK was a Ukranian immigrant who settled in Spokane and was already an accomplished bootmaker but Im not certain as to his history.

Wescos get overlooked for some reason, they do custom work and full rebuilds. I love mine, had them over 20 years, good boots.

I have some Keen Kenton carbon cap shoes. They make a hightop and low top. Flat sole so they make a great mt bike shoe. Carbon cap allows you to stroll through the metal detector at the airport.&nbsp;</p>

I think they’re overlooked here because most of the experience is from his with wildland fire backgrounds. I can assure you that wesco cork boots are not overlooked in the logging industry. They are the gold standard.
