Mother Nature Digs Our Style. You Will Too.

I highly recommend these!! Handmade!! In the USA all natural materials!! In all aspects safe for the environment from built to worn! What’s better for our planet than that?!? Looking forward to putting mine on soon. Thank you Boatman Shoes.

The fact that the shoes were assembled in the USA and made out of cactus leather really intrigued me. I reached out via their Facebook to them and had a very detailed response within 3 hours. I can’t wait for my shoes to arrive just in time for my vacation.

At first I was a bit skeptical to order shoes that only come in men's sizes. I messaged the support team to ask for more information based on their sizes. Within one hour I had a response, from a real human. Shortly after I purchased two pairs. I can’t wait to wear my navy and tan Boatman Shoes.

Not only is AJ great to deal with, the customer service is fantastic. Great local people. I’ve owned multiple pairs of the popular sperry shoe brand and right out of the box my boatman shoes were so much better and much more comfortable. Ten out of ten will recommend to all friends and family

I wore my Boatman's today on a dreary damp NH day. And Ill tell you, they are the most comfortable boat shoes I've ever worn, and I've worn boat shoes since 1968!

Last week, the DLE featured one of its newest members, AJ Bowman, for the amazing work he has achieved in starting his own sustainable shoe company, Boatman Shoes.

For AJ Bowman, a newcomer to the DLE community, the COVID-19 pandemic was the impetus for starting a business. An avid dreamer of becoming an entrepreneur, AJ made it happen shortly after the pandemic struck in 2020. He started a company that would save the earth–one shoe at a time.

This 23-year-old is ultra-focused on growing his premium, American-made, shoe business methodically to build for the long haul.
