Products

Østmo Bootmaker makes several boot models. The Type I is a 5-inch lace-up derby boot with design elements that reference Norwegian footwear from the 1940s to the 1960s.

    By nikolanottesla • August 31, 2025"I got engaged in these boots so they'll always be sentimental favorites of mine. They're built like handsome tanks, and they've handled the "rigors" of daily office wear plus a few transcontinental trips (with 10-plus miles of walking a day) without breaking a sweat at all. I'm on the lighter side when it comes to how hard I wear my boots, but even so, I can't imagine these lasting me anything less than a lifetime. They're wildly overbuilt for what I put them through. Despite their issues (and from what I've heard, the hardware problem has been corrected on newer IB x Ostmo models) these were well worth the price I paid. Maybe the best compliment I can give them is this: I hope one of my kids ends up a 10.5D so I can hand them down...."Read the full review
    By Repete10.5E • November 19, 2024"I love these boots. They fit better than anything I’ve ever worn. The finish quality is unmatched by anything I’ve handled. The pattern & design make for a gorgeous boot. They’re my golden boys. If my house caught on fire, I would grab these on my way out. Maybe not the best value...."Read the full review
