Baffin Footwear – Men’s Summit And Control Max Boots Review
A Canadian company that was forged from the harsh environment and cold temperatures of the Great White North, Baffin would become a worldwide recognized name in the boot industry.
Baffin concentrates its efforts at “being technically advanced, high-quality Footwear and Apparel.”
When you pick up a pair of Baffin boots, this is obviously apparent. Not limiting themselves to just footwear, they also produce apparel as well.
1979 would mark the initiation of a brand that would continue through to today. Stony Creek, Canada would be home to Baffin as they began to expand and develop their manufacturing abilities. Through the use of the most advanced and highest quality manufacturing process at the time, they would start to gain a loyal following quickly.
Everyone from soldiers, outdoor enthusiasts to workers has found a use for their Baffins. The company is nothing if not consistently persistent. Original equipment from the early founding days is currently being used to make their current day products. Though many of their processes have advanced, the fundamentals they do well remain unchanged.
Foot comfort and the wearer’s experience are paramount to Baffin and are at the core of what they strive to achieve. No one wants to wear an uncomfortable pair of boots, and Baffin’s customer base may consider this an aspect of safety. Customers want to wear these boots because they are made to be supremely comfortable and durable.
