Footwear

Leather boots and canvas sneakers on a rustic bench in a sunlit entryway

Shoes take more abuse than anything else you own, so they deserve more thought than most things you buy. We favor pairs built to be worn in, not worn out — honest leather, simple canvas, soles that keep their promise.

Good to know

Does OIG sell these shoes directly?

No. OIG is a curated mall, not a store — when you find something you like, you check out with the independent merchant who sells it. We link out; we never take your payment.

How do you decide what to feature?

We look for independent merchants with a clear point of view and goods we’d recommend to a friend. Nobody can pay for a spot in a department — featured or not, the standard is the same.

Why don’t you list prices?

Prices change, and we’d rather not show you a number we can’t stand behind. Click through to the merchant for today’s price and availability.
