As you can imagine, I need a boot that can handle it all.
On any given day, I might be crossing irrigation ditches or mountain streams. As I chase birds, the terrain can be fertile loam or taxing basalt and granite. Farming and logging are huge industries up here. Here, there are rolling wheat fields and ponderosa forests within 15 minutes of each other. I live in the Northwest on the Idaho panhandle. Something that will last decades, not just seasons. They’re tears that flow from a loyalty and affection that only a world-class brand and product can build. And I’m not exaggerating when I say that he still tears up when telling the tragic story of losing his precious Filson jacket.Īfter wearing my first ever Filson product, the newly-released, limited-edition Filson x Danner Grouse Boots, I’m beginning to understand Fred’s tears.
Fred wore it for the next three decades until the day it disappeared on a job site, either misplaced or stolen. About thirty-five years ago, the contractor he was working for at the time gave him a well-worn Filson waxed canvas jacket. He’s one of the hardest working and humble guys I know. Fred is in his early sixties and has been working as a concrete contractor for most of his adult life. When I opened the box of my Filson x Danner Grouse Boots, I immediately thought of my friend Fred. The Filson x Danner Grouse Boots, an upland boot with comfort and durability from two iconic brands. New England Grouse Shooting, by William Harnden Foster.The Upland Shooting Life, by George Bird Evans.We do it the old-school way, because it’s the right way. In our custom boots we hand shape our toe boxes, hand stitch the tops, hand last the fit, and pour many more hours in finalizing the perfect boot. In the 1836 Collection (stock line of boots) our team in our North American shops (Houston & Leon) handcraft them with a standardized design and we cut out the middle-man to lower our price to you. The Craftsmanship – All of our customs boots are 100% handmade in our Houston, TX bootshop. We only use the finest sole leather that provides the durability that you expect. The soles of many factory boots are made of composite (pressed leather and cardboard particles) – of course this will not last long. There is a huge difference in leather quality – only settle for the best.

Like a good baseball glove, a full leather boot will conform to your foot and become extremely comfortable over time – don’t compromise. We routinely resole boots 10-30 years old that have all leather natural soles, but that would not be possible with a factory boot that has synthetic material (it’s pretty disgusting). Like a sneaker it gets nasty over a short amount of time and it will degrade. That material acts like an initial cushion but the unknown factor is that it does not breathe or let toxins out. The Leather Construction – many factory boots use synthetic material that makes the initial feel more comfortable. Don’t be confused by other online companies that are not master bootmakers. We stake our reputation on the quality of our boots and are able to sell our boots direct to you without the mark-up of traditional retail. There is a huge difference in our handmade boots compared to a mass produced boot you may find on the shelf at a store.
