Canadian workers building Canadian products.This is the way it was supposed to be.I bought work boots yrs ago from this company.I will be looking again to support these guys on my next buy.very nice!

worked in slip on boots all my life, moved to Kentucky for a internship in 2003 for a couple years, couldn't find the same style, but did find dedicated wide feet shoes, I understand its not a problem now to get slip on boots there now. Great to see a local company doing a awesome job in your neck of the woods! especially as I discovered I have wide feet, I guess its because I live in a country originally colonised by the English. My wife has narrow feet, I think that's because she is related to GingisKhan 🤣

Great video rich this guy us very knowledgeable when it comes to his product and that's what running a business is all about. Not to mention none of it is shipped over seas for a quick buck it all done right in house for great quality boots

Took a chance on two pairs of Bucks boots, ordered from the blemish sale so no returns. They finally arrived after getting held up at customs, and I couldn’t be happier. So psyched to have some new boots and they’re so comfy they don’t even fell like they need to break in. 👌🏻also happy to have both pairs affordably, appreciate it!

Great story. I worked for a company called Vinaflex from 1974 to 1992 and we made unit soles out of TPR and PVC for the Canadian shoe manufacturing trade. Sadly most of the industry is now gone due to cheap imports. I loved watching this video about Tatra as I worked with the previous owners many years ago. It was an enjoyable trip down memory lane.

A well told story about an amazing company. Great to hear about people still concerned about quality and community!

Canadian made products are top notch and always sold out

Bought some Bucks Puritan 8" lace ups this last Easter weekend, notified this morning they are being shipped out today, excited to find out how well they fit and keep my ankles safe too in the bush while logging

Would love to see some Canadian made hiking/tactical boots!

[Dagrond]

I used to run a tanning drum like that. Great challenge.

[fergieferg]

[peteryeung]

If you’re smart enough, and work hard enough, you can achieve the Canadian dream!

[karlosm]

If only the made size 14-15. I would buy.
