Let's jump right in to this.  A few months ago I noticed this handcrafted shoe company which is based in Bedstuy. I was floored.  Here's some info on the company.  If you are like most BK residents, you love the look of overly worn boots.  Enjoy!  

Bed|Stü's Beginnings

Fundamentally based in nature with a thorough understanding of craftsmanship and endurance, Bed|Stü footwear is handcrafted of the finest materials available. With three lines to choose from – Bed|Stü Cobbler, Roan, and Bed|Stü – the company offers a broad choice of styles and price points. Starting in an old building converted into an office, design studio, and warehouse the brand began with the purpose of creating footwear inspired by the tough and resilient streets of Bed Stuy, Brooklyn.

Over the years the company has grown into a diverse, creative, and fiercely independent group of people. People who intentionally don’t have job titles; they just do whatever it takes to get the job done.Boasting a cult following with fans, the brand offers classic styles with attitude. Each piece possesses the craftsmanship that Bed|Stü is known for as well as the diversity and identity of those wearing the product. Check out more here: http://bedstu.com
