Bass

GH Bass & Company was started by George Henry Bass in the 1870s as a company that took orders and designed custom shoes. Since that very beginning George Bass went out of his way to obtain feedback from the wearers of his shoes in order to create the "best possible shoes." The quality of Bass shoes quickly became apparent, and during World War I the Bass aviation boot was made the official aviation boot for the United States Army. In World War II Bass developed a cold-weather and snow boot for the 10th Mountain Division of the United States Army. Today, Bass shoes remain extremely popular being the leading producer of quality classic American footwear. Bass shoes have been worn by iconic public figures since their creation such as James Dean and Michael Jackson, and today Bass shoes are constantly featured in major fashion and footwear magazines such as GQ, Lucky Magazine, Marie Claire, Footwear News, Vogue and Teen Vogue. Bass is the brand for the fashion conscious men and women out there looking for outstanding quality and great classic American style in their shoes.
