Tivi’s new fully-lined sheepskin Phoenix boots were put to test this winter. In addition to visiting family in Wisconsin and Colorado, even rain-bound Oregon is getting a good share of snow this year! After 5 months, 43 sled rides, 6 snowmen and 3 forts, I can confidently say our new boot design is FANTASTIC at […]

Couldn’t resist a photo of these custom shiny gold mocs made for a holiday gift in December. Pictured here on Elf Keita’s tiny feet – they don’t really show the scale as they were made for a TALL guy with size 12 feet. Apparently his old “Goofy” mocs were falling apart and these were ordered […]
