a leather boot manufacturer
Posted by jerry wigutow on Dec 31st, 2019
LEATHER BOOTS MADE IN MEXICO AND PERU
The company is named NISOLO and their web site is www.nisolo.com
I looked them up on the internet. I asked if the used goretex and the answer was NO. they have a variety of leather boots to chose from and they seem to use the same soft finished leather I had which means no break in time.
I wrote to them asking if they would be interested in using Lamilite insulation and I do not expect they will answer until after the first of the year. I told them to look at the Wiggy’s web site.
This could be a bright spot for the new year. If anything I may drive business to them since they make what appears to be a fine quality boot.
I will continue to seek out other boot manufacturers that my customers can look at.
With that I hope the new year brings good things to one and all.
