It's nearly Valentines Day and I wanted to share with you what I got my boyfriend for Valentines Day. I'm surprising him with a pair of boots from G.H. Bass & Co, an awesome shoe shop that sells loafers, boots, brogues and other types of shoes for men and women. A bit about the shop- the history of G.H. Bass & Co. dates back to Maine in 1876 and George Henry Bass- who designed one of the very first loafer shoes designed for “loafing in the field". The shoes turned into some of the most popular loafers around, and they've been making shoes ever since!
What I found particularly appealing about this shop is that their website is extremely beautiful and easy to use. Many shoe shops have messy websites, but the site of G.H. Bass & Co really stands out for they presents each shoe beautifully. Each page has a 360 degrees view function which allows you to see the shoe in all its glory. I had such fun browsing the site!
I got this pair of Duxbury Plain Toe Boot in Chocolate Brown Leather for my boyfriend because I fell in love with the sleek, stylish and ultra-manly design of the shoe. The shoe has the following features- a lovely lace up design, dark brown round leather lace with 10mm antique brass eyelets, contrast off white stitching, suede tongue and a natural calf lining.
The quality of this pair of boots is fantastic- it is beautifully stitched with perfection, and the rubber sole feels super sturdy and hard. I love the leather laces and the lovely upper finish as it's shiny but not too much so. It has a matte texture, and the rich chocolate leather is extremely beautiful and looks wonderful when paired with jeans or a t-shirt. The whole shoe feels really solid and durable, and it's definitely better than anything I can find online!
As you can see, the boots are goodyear welted, which means that the quality is fantastic as once the sole wears off you can get it replaced in a local shoemaker instead of throwing the whole shoe away. Goodyear welted shoes are the best choice you can make, and your boyfriend will be able to wear these shoes for years to come!
As for the comfort and fit, I got a Size EU43 and it fits my boyfriend perfectly. I got him to try it recently and he said it was one of the most comfortable shoes that he's ever worn. Kudos to G.H. Bass & Co for making such well-designed and fitted shoes! The best thing about the shop is that they have all the standard sizes so there's no need to worry about a design running out of sizes. You know what they say- boots are made for walking!
As for the design, I'm ultra impressed by the Duxbury shoes- they are amazing and beautiful, and just what every man needs in his wardrobe. The finishing, the leather and the soles are perfectly designed. I also love the little details inside the shoes- the flaps at the front are suede, and the insides are really cushy and soft. One thing I really want to say is that your man needs a pair of shoes- everyone needs shoes and I can't recommend G.H. Bass & Co enough!
If you'r struggling to get yourself a Valentines Day gift for your husband, boyfriend or crush, don't hesitate to check out G.H. Bass & Co!
