Just some of what satisfied Dayton customers have to say:
I do demonstration Blacksmithing at our local museum and fall fair. We always wear period correct clothing; so when an elderly friend had a pair of Dayton loggers Caulked boots in their garage sale; I bought them and
never even haggled over the price. Her husband had bought them back in 1950. Other than some worn out stitching; and, heavy wear on the caulks; they are in great shape. I have never worn a more comfortable pair of
boots. Excellent craftsmanship; to have lasted 60 years!!! - John Pari Schreiber
Love my Dayton's. Great to see such a quality boot made in east van.
Always proud to show them off!
Thanks Dayton!!!!! - wcheung12
I have been wearing boots since I was a kid (that is for many, many years).
Deciding I was no longer going to spend the sort of money being asked by
many manufacturers of what may be considered "Quality" boots (especially
seeing how the workmanship has suffered since being outsourced to overseas
manufacturing), I sprung for a pair of Dayton's. I first saw Dayton Boots
many years ago during Bike Week in Daytona Beach. I remember them as being
a rather formidable example of footwear, kind of pricey for the time too.
Nevertheless I ponied up $500 for a pair of double sole Black Beauties.
After receiving them in a timely fashion (thanks Kayla) I began the task of
breaking them in....this was no fun at all. At one point I was sure
something had gone wrong in the sizing process. A call to Dayton assured be
all was well; they just needed more time. Know what? That was totally
correct. As more time was spent gradually breaking the Dayton's in, the
better and better they began to fit. I now can say this is the BEST pair of
boots I have ever owned. The craftsmanship is so good I can see myself
handing these down to my grandchildren in the years to come. I hope they
have big feet so they fit. Yep, they cost more, but if there were ever an
example of "getting what you pay for" Dayton Boots is it. Thank you for an
exceptional product. - Timothy B. Satellite Beach, FL
I got my first pair of Daytons in 2000.
Since then then I've played over 1,000 gigs, every one of them wearing my Daytons. - Bob Egan, Blue Rodeo
I bought my first pair of Dayton's, when I was in my early 20's. I am now 46 and still have the same pair. People I talk to now don't believe how old my Dayton's are, I use them every time I ride my motorcycle. Very satisfied with these boots. Now living Lima, Peru. - Thomas G., Peru

…My worst injury from the accident was my ankle (though I didn’t think so at the time) which was badly twisted. But when I looked at my boot with the leather torn away at the heel, the story it told was the injury could have been a lot worse. I don’t even want to think about the extent of the injuries to my foot would have been if I had been wearing a lighter boot or a runner.
Thank God I was wearing my Daytons!
PS: I checked my saddlebags and found that not a bottle was broken and not a drop of wine was spilt. Although I sure could have uncorked a bottle and had a drink to sooth my bruised ego. I am currently repairing my bike and getting ready for our next ride and I have a new pair of Dayton boots!!!
Thank you for making such a great boot! -John B., Surrey, BC
Just wanted to let you know that I got my new boots. The post office was a little tardy in delivering them but now that they are here I want you to know that they are BEEEEUUUUTIFUL and I am thrilled. Thanks again for making them for me. You guys are the best! - Susan
I received my boots yesterday - thanks, they are great and they seem to fit just fine. I appreciate the stickers (for my office), the key ring (already on my keys) and the oil - its all great. This pair will become my 'out on the town pair', my current ones are now my everyday work pair, and my 3rd pair are now for the garden and garage.
I told my 72 year old mother that I got a new pair of Romeos, she cryed...my grandfather and all of my uncles used to wear them on their fishing boats (they fished out of Ladner).
Thanks again, I am so pleased. I work as a product designer here in Calgary - all my work is massed produced in China and I always find it amusing that my favorite possessions are the well designer hand crafted products - my grandfathers old tools, my hand made Italian leather shoes, and my Daytons - all three pairs.
God Bless - Tony
Hi there, a couple of days I visited your store for the first time and was
really impressed by the selection of your products and the historic setup.
I work as a mens stylist at Canadian Retailer **********, where I've bought
boots that need to be replaced soon, and I hope in the future to return
back to your store to purchase a new pair. I also have my eye on your
gauntlet leather gloves. Great stuff, keep up the good work. - Corey

As a kid growing up in East Vancouver, many of my friends older brothers
wore Dayton boots. After buying my first motorcycle, my next stop was the
Dayton boot factory located on east hastings, to buy my first pair of Black
Beauty boots. I have had these boots for over 20 years and anytime I have
had a question or concern, I am treated like a new customer with a smile
and an eager suggestion. Dayton boots are like no other, when it comes to
craftsmanship and quality, you will not find another company that comes
close to Dayton boots. Thanks guys. - Sean
I bought 2 pairs (2 buckle Engineers (Classics), and a pair of
leathersoled Black Beauties) in 1981. I've re-soled them every 10 years or
so. They still look in fine shape and I'd expect they'll be around longer
than me.
I had to laugh the last time I went in to the Dayton Shop- the lady that
looked after me was at least 10 years younger than my boots...
This company has a good history, and a fine product. - Ted
I was about to order a few pairs of boots from Conker shoes in Devon as I
had literally destroyed one pair in Africa over 3 years of tramping about.
I found Dayton's and unquestionably they are just "brilliant" for countless reasons. - Simon Fellows
I have worn Dayton black beauties for 25 years, three pairs so far, but the 1st pair were stolen & the last pair were just turned to a pile of ash in a house fire.
Dayton has been part of my motorcycle ride'n gear for 25yrs. I have to give credit to the quality craftsmanship at Dayton for protecting my lower legs & feet when i was involved in a head on collision with a pick up truck. And for keeping my feet dry in the worst rain storms . I feel so strongly about only wearing the best boot, I am going to drive 450kms to get a new pair.
Thanks to all at Dayton, keep up the good work!!
From a very happy customer - Jay K.
Just picked up my first Dayton Rebels in bourbon brown. Sexy, fashionable and a little bit of attitude! Thanks to Dayton for specifically making a size 3.5 boot just for me! - Angela M. Vancouver BC
When I got home I wore my boots around the house with some thinner socks. They fit great. I found you to be very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful, without being the least bit pushy or imposing. Between the quality boots, the retro shop, and your personable service, I very much enjoyed my “Dayton experience”. I finally have my first pair of Dayton's, and I look forward to getting another pair. - Bill F. Vancouver BC
I have my Dayton cork boots minus the corks I bought in 1945 or6.I started selling cars and I wore my Daytons to work as they were comfortable walking on cement.My boss asked me not to wear them.They are still like new so I guess that speaks for the quality to stand up for 65 years or so. - Harold B.
Thank you so much Michele for all your kindness and help with my boot
purchases.(6 pairs and counting) Im totally impressed with the fit and
quality in your boots. See you next year for my next purchases. Thanks
again. - Les F.
