What's In A Name
The Johnson is named for our friend, Will Johnson. Those who know Will from his brilliant music in bands or his solo career, know that he is an exceptional, deep and thoughtful artist. Most admirers also follow his creative endeavors into his fascinating, primarily baseball based paintings. But we're lucky enough to know Will personally and can attest to his loyalty to his friends, his kindness towards others, and his undying devotion to his craft.

United StatesI returned the boots the same day that I received it. Boots was received by you on the 5th of April per tracking number.
United StatesI almost passed on these as I was afraid a burgundy boot would only fit with a few of my outfits, but it’s quickly become my go-to boot! I get lots of compliments when I wear them and love the look, especially with dark denim.
United StatesQuality is great. Great leather. Great construction. Gotta say, these were VERY pinchy/tight around the heels the first few weeks. I wore them around my house a few times with two pairs of socks, that loosened them up some. They feel good now. I'd recommend NOT sizing down. In most dress shoes and sneakers I'm a 9.5. A lot of boots (including Helm Holt and Pablo boots!) I'm a 9. I ordered these in a 9 and there were just clearly too small. Very tight around the vamp before the lacing (although the toe box was ok). Helm has great customer service. I exchanged for a 9.5, no problem. I wish the laces were a few inches longer and waxed; they seem kinda boring. Anyways, cool boots. If you think you'll dig them, get them!
United StatesThey were ready to wear from day one, no break-in period needed. They are very comfortable and stylish. The burgundy color is unique and not available from competitors like Wolverine or Thursday's Boots. They also appear to be crease resistant.
United StatesI love the boots. They felt great right out of the box, not much of a break in period at all. The color really pops, the boots hug the foot without pinching and they are a pleasure to walk/stand in all day.
