White's Boots

Originally located at the corner of Main St. and Stevens in downtown, White's set up shop in its current location on Ferry Avenue in the mid-1990's. Since the beginning, White's Boots has been a family business, operated and managed by the bootmakers themselves. When Otto White died in 1972, a brace of brothers, Skip and Gary March took over the business, each serving several years as president. Upon Gary's retirement, his step-son, Eric Kinney, trained under interim president Steve Scheller before taking the president's chair himself. Kinney brings the accumulated knowledge of an entire career at White's to the presidency - he spent 26 years as a master bootmaker and eventually as factory foreman before serving in the front office. White's boots continues to manufacture their hand-sewn workboots exactly the way they have since their founding in 1853: by hand, in the USA.
