Just some of what satisfied Dayton customers have to say:
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 Daytons. 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 Daytons 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
