Forest Boot

Detail
A new modern essential—this sleek, lace-up moccasin is designed to complement any look with effortless style. Crafted from supple suede and set on the newly refined Turtle Sole by Cree artist Heather Endall, this design offers an improved fit and enhanced comfort while staying true to the authentic moccasin feel.
About the Art
The design of the sole tells a symbolic story rooted in Indigenous teachings. A circle, representing the unity of life energy, is divided to reflect balance—man and woman, mother and father, the spirit world and the physical world. Flowing lines stretch across the sky, symbolizing the energy that moves through all living beings. A turtle swims toward the prairie grasses, a nod to the sustenance they have long provided. This imagery draws from the legend of Turtle Island, the land formed when a small clump of soil on Turtle’s back grew into what is now North America. The markings on the turtle’s shell echo the cycles of the moon, connecting the story to the rhythm of nature. -

These boots are a conversation starter every time I wear them. The attention to detail in the artwork is amazing. Waterproof enough for slushy conditions too. Worth every penny for something this unique and well-made.

Solid boots! Looked like a lumberjack fashion icon walking into brunch. Waterproofing held up even when I accidentally stepped in a hidden puddle — thanks, urban beaver project. Only downside: they attract compliments at an alarming rate. My ego can’t keep up.

Really like the design and quality, though they run a tiny bit large. Had to wear thicker socks at first. Otherwise, stylish and warm—perfect for Canadian autumns. The Heather Endall art gives them a cool, earthy vibe.

As someone who loves both function and art in footwear, these hit the mark. The tread is solid on wet pavement, and the Heather Endall design makes them feel one-of-a-kind. Got them in two colors—they’re that good.

I was drawn to these because of the artist collaboration, and they didn’t disappoint. The print is vibrant and weather-resistant. Break-in time was minimal—I wore them all day hiking near Whistler with no blisters. Highly recommend for fans of functional artwear.

Ho sempre amato le calzature con un’anima artistica e questi boot non deludono. Il tocco della collaborazione con Heather Endall è evidente e raffinato. Ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo per un pezzo così particolare.

I’ve had these for a week and already feel like I should live in a cabin, grow herbs, and speak only in poetic metaphors about moss. The sole is sturdy, the style unique – honestly, they might be too cool for me, but I’m keeping them anyway.

Love the look and the artist collaboration concept. Fit is good but runs slightly narrow. Needed to exchange for a half size up, but now they’re perfect.

Great boot with an artistic twist. The color tones match my wardrobe perfectly, and the craftsmanship stands out. Definitely not something you’ll see everywhere. Comfortable even on long walks around Vancouver.

So happy with this purchase! The boots arrived quickly and were beautifully packaged. The forest pattern is even prettier in person—earthy tones with subtle texture. Comfortable from the first wear and held up well through rain and mud.
