Daniel H. Blakely

On any boot listing, I count the sole's layers from a side view; a single thin slab sends me back to searching. Stitched onto each post here is a pen name, Daniel H. Blakely; a professional stylist dresses the whole man, and my notes cover far less ground. A boot sold as water resistant isn't waterproof, so read that line before slush season. I read mail about soles and mismatched specs at [email protected].
