29 Reasons Why We Have a 100 Year Warranty
What is Covered and What is Not
Are you crazy? With the materials, construction and pattern and shape design we put into these shoes, we'd be crazy not to give our leather shoes a 100 year warranty. We wouldn’t say ours are the longest lasting shoes in the world, but we don’t know anyone’s shoe that could last longer.

What Is Covered?
We will take care of any problem for 100 years that happens that shouldn’t have happened when you’re normally wearing the shoes. If stitching comes loose or eyelets pop off or the shoe separates from the sole or if the heel comes falls off or anything like that, we will stand behind it and take care of you by replacing the boot or fixing it. And we’ll pay for shipping back and forth for the repair.
What Is Not Covered?
Our warranty is like a 100,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty on a car that doesn’t cover brake pads, tires or windshield wipers or damage from accidents. Likewise, our warranty does not cover shoelaces or the bottom of the shoe from wearing away. Even rocks wear away. The good thing is, because of the construction method of how these shoes are built, a shoe repairman can resole them blindfolded.
We don't cover dumb
If you go swimming in the salty ocean in our boots and they shrink up out of shape or if they get wet and you dry them in the oven or you go rock climbing in them and a sharp rock slices the side or if you smear some miracle leather waterproofing chemical that you bought from over the ocean and it changes the color of your shoes, that's on you.
We don't cover accidents
If a bear attacks you and it starts gnawing on your shoe or you fall into a tar pit or you're struck by lightning and your shoes are heated to 20,000 degrees and blow off your feet and that tears the leather, then don't come crying to us.
