I’m so happy I was able to try on a pair of Clara and Silversmith boots in person at a location! Rocky was absolutely wonderful to work with, and I’m totally wearing my new shoes out of the store. I know they’ll need some breaking in but they are incredibly comfortable

I loved my experience there, great conversation and super helpful. If I lived in Chicago I would go back to get boots there any time.

Rocky went way above and beyond to help me get into my first pair of Red Wing steel toes, I don’t think I’ve ever had such a great experience buying boots.
