I’ve always had a soft spot for the little guys. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve got the heavy hitters lined up in my closet like Red Wing, Wolverine, Allen Edmonds, and my Pacific Northwest boots could probably survive the apocalypse. But there’s something about smaller boot brands that keeps pulling me in. Brands like Parkhurst … Read more

I’ll walk you through what worked for me, where Chippewa fits compared to other boot brands, … Read more
The first time I tried on a pair of Edward Green shoes, I thought I had it figured out. I slipped into what should have been my size… and it felt all wrong. Too much room here, pinching there, and somehow both loose and tight at the same time. That’s the paradox of Edward Green … Read more
JM Weston sizing is a bit special, especially with their iconic loafers. If you’ve been reading about their famous 180s or any of their other slip-ons, you’ve probably already heard the fit is… particular, if not weird. And you’d be right.

If you’ve never heard of Floafers, picture this: driving loafers made out of Crocs-style foam. Yeah, it’s weird, but weird in a fun way.
