When it comes to footwear, you typically have to choose between two competing choices: do you want them well-made or affordable? Because you rarely get both. But the new Milwaukee Boot Co., on the other hand, is making a name for themselves with an impressive lineup of handsome, honestly-priced boots that cut out the middleman to give you all the quality for a lot less money.

Named after legendary local figures and landmarks that have helped make Milwaukee what it is today, these hardwearing boots are a hand-crafted nod to the city's history of American grit and work ethic. They're the kind of boots that will serve you well for a long time. And most are Goodyear welted, so they're able to be resoled over and over—meaning you get even more for your money. Herewith, four of our favorites for fall and winter.
