Boot Styles
Each style has its own history, aesthetic, and purpose. Understanding these helps you find the right boot for your life.
Heritage
8 bootsThe catch-all category for boots that reference historical work boot designs while being marketed to modern consumers who want aesthetics over pure function.

Work Boot
5 bootsBoots designed for actual work—on job sites, in forests, on farms. These prioritize function over fashion, though the overlap with heritage boots is significant.

Moc Toe
