Not quite shoes, but bedrock's mountain clogs. I love these things and it's all I wear in the summertime and they've started to develop a great patina on them.
Made with leather, assembled locally here in Montana. These have vibram soles and are actually resoleable (or re-soulable as they call it). Would highly recommend!

Im suprised I have yet to see this brand mentioned - probably my favorite leather footwear brand and they are based in rural new york
I was trying to describe the vibe to Sean/SKT and the best I could up with was shoes the villagers in Shrek would wear or "little lad who loves berries and cream" (IYKYK)
Ive got my heart set on some of these in black and olive at some point as well
If you can look beyond the grime its super sturdy leather construction and vibram sole

Drakes collabs look pretty cool too

@GraemeE way cool. Thanks for the share

Those Aurora shoes reminded me of some nice moccasins I had for 10 years. Wassookeag Moccasins made in Maine. These were triple soled buffalo leather with deerskin lining

@GraemeE saw the aurora chukka kind of boot a while ago on Reddit and really like them. How's sizing working? Like compared to other brands?
-
@FlavourFade they are interesting in that they come pretty stiff to begin with and mold to the top of your foot as they break so, in my experience, even if you are err a half a size larger they still work
The company also has the option to let you submit a tracing of your foot to recomend you the best size

@GraemeE thanks for the answer! Not really sure how I would combine them with my wardrobe but they look so cool that I have to get a pair eventually

@Bridger I have to admit that I hadn‘t heard of this company before either and I actually came across it by chance on the Heddels platform one week ago
https://www.heddels.com/2026/04/how-crown-northampton-sneakers-are-resoled/
The shoes have a delivery time of six to eight weeks and since I was not sure whether they would fit, I bought a used pair that looked like new. And I have to say I am very impressed with the quality, especially the comfort. I said to my wife these shoes feel like Brazilian samba dancers are wrapping my feet with their soft hands. Famous last words…….

@Bridger worth looking for the factory shops, could be slight seconds / end of lines available.
Had these Cheany Chukka boots and brogues around 11 years ago from the factory shop

Indeed @NickD. I have a few pairs of Jeffery-West and Joseph Cheaney shoes and boots.
It would be cool to check out whatever of these shoe-makers facilities are open to the public.

Great quote @Marc2706. However, based on your posts, I am wondering if you are talking from experience rather than making a simile
