Way back in 1946, Charlie Wohlford started Dayton Boots to make tough boots for tough men (think loggers, fireman, oil workers and police officers). In the early ’60s, Dayton kicked it up a notch and began producing badass boots for cowboys and bikers. Today the standards and techniques remain the same, with each locally produced boot made by hand. This local brand has amassed a large cult following that includes celebs such as Johnny Depp, Cindy Crawford and Angelina Jolie. Stop by the new shop on Granville Island to purchase a pair.—Jennifer Patterson
