This region of the planet experiences each kind of environment — blizzards, second rainstorms, unforgiving winters, and summer heat waves.
Wandering external in any kind of weather patterns was an issue Backwoods region was bound to handle.
In 1973 our special waterproof boots called the “Woods region” were planned. They were harsh, overall around made, and — in view of a creative implantation framing methodology which was new to the footwear business — they persevered through the components. These excellent “yellow” boots set new standards for waterproof execution in the footwear business. They ended up being correspondingly notable with outdoors fans who required security in all conditions, capable trade workers who required unpleasant dependable stuff, and various others who just required a phenomenal looking arrangements of boots. These boots described our picture. They were vital to the point that in 1978 we renamed the entire association.

We are centered around making our world greener, our organizations more grounded, and our things better with less impact on the environment.
This mission is business as usual.
