The Brothers Bray for Sebago Dockworker’s Boot
Thursday, August 19th, 2010With a mix of styles and materials, The Brothers Bray for Sebago Dockworker’s Boot ($160) is familiar and yet still unique. They feature a leather upper, a moccassin-style toe, an eight-eye lacing system, white contrast stitching, and a lightly-colored welted rubber sole.

Timberland Boot Company Counterpane Oxford
Saturday, March 27th, 2010We’ll be the first to admit that the Timberland brand doesn’t make us think of dressy shoes — similarly-named rappers wearing jeans and light tan work boots is more like it — so we were pleasantly surprised by the Timberland Boot Company Counterpane Oxford ($225). Not overly fancy, the Counterpane features a distressed dark brown [...]
