New York Times Best Selling Author Ridley Pearson has one of his characters in his book "In Harms Way" wearing Van Gorkom Hiking Boots! Page 100, I believe.
More later.

Also, Men's Vogue and Men's Life have also featured my boots and a little about me. As soon as I figure out how, I'll have scans
up for you to see.

the National Post, Canada, also did a full page on me and my boots for Father's day a while back. I'll get the scans up of that as soon as I find out how to do it! :-)

Simple Faith
There is a faith so simple
a slab of leather
may be lifted down,
as in a dusty library
one lifts down a precious
one hundred year old volume,
unlay the buttery golden folds,
cut and stitch by hand,
by lamplight if one must,
until a radiant pair of boots
fairly leaps from the bench alive,
eager to rush headlong out
to bless a barefoot world.
