The most buzzing segment of the quality shoe world at the moment is the workwear boot scene. Old big players are more successful than ever at the same time as plenty of new brands and small workshops pop up every year. Few know more about this part of the shoe world than Ben Robinson of the footwear website and more, Stitchdown, who’s the guest of this podcast episode.
As you likely know, Shoegazing’s focus on the site, podcast, events etc is on classic dress shoes. Stitchdown is sort of the equivalent within the world of workwear boots, or heritage boots, or whatever you want to call it. In short, Ben Robinson knows a whole lot about boots and rugged footwear.
