Lately, I’ve been hearing a lot about a small brand that’s been quietly shaking things up in the boot world. I’m talking about Caswell Bootmakers, a one-man operation that’s somehow producing premium-quality boots for around the same price as a pair of Red Wings.

Bordon is one of those small boot brands that quietly earn their place among collectors. They might not have the name recognition of Red Wing or Viberg, but that’s exactly why I find them interesting.

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
