Wesco Boots

About Wesco Boots

Wesco has been building boots at its factory in Scappoose, Oregon since 1918, when John H. Shoemaker founded the company. Three generations on, it's still owned and run by the Shoemaker family, having narrowly survived the Great Depression. Every pair shares the same construction: a spring steel shank, double layers of leather over the foot and heel, and leather insoles and midsoles rather than cork. Leather is directional cut, so each piece comes from the best part of the hide for that job. Just as importantly, every pair is fully rebuildable, making them a genuine long-term investment rather than a disposable purchase.
