Boots Built To Stand The Test Of Time

Chippewa Boots was built on the true grit and determination of the men and women who built this country, crafting high quality work boots with premium materials, designed to support the ones whose days are measured in sweat.

The history of Chippewa dates back to 1901, founded by J.B. Piotrowski and John Andrejski in a quiet, cozy city tucked away in the Northern Midwest of the United States, where hard work is the standard and craftsmanship is a way of life.

What started as a small operation with less than ten employees has grown into a name built on that same founding spirit.

Since its founding, Chippewa has been at the forefront of many of this country’s greatest battles. From providing boots during both World Wars to crafting boots that worked to keep Cold War pilots warm during their frigid, high-altitude exhibitions.

The brand redefined the industry by introducing the first work boots, providing comfort, utility and durability to this country’s hardest workers.

Chippewa crafts boot collections engineered for protection — shielding against heat, oil, punctures, snakebites and so much more — without sacrificing style.

Even now, after over a century, Chippewa lives up to its reputation as a premium work boot, standing strong against even the harshest of conditions.
