I made this site because I love men’s boots and want to explore the industry and the fashion with my readers.
To keep the lights on, some (not all) of my reviews contain affiliate links. That simply means that if you click the link and make a purchase, I may receive a small commission for sending you there. This does not cost you any extra money whatsoever, it just means the origin of the sale is tracked back to Stridewise.
If you’ve read a few of my reviews, you know that I never hesitate to criticize an aspect of a boot that needs criticizing — and I’d never recommend anything I didn’t love.
