Staheekum
Seek, Explore, Wander
Born in the heart of the north Cascades, Staheekum has been designing shoes with adventure in mind since 1998. Whether it’s tackling an alpine trail, cozying up in a remote cabin, or just on a trek to the mailbox, we believe comfort and function should go hand-in-hand. That’s why we’re proud to offer quality footwear crafted with care and sustainable elements. Outfitting the explorers, the pioneers, and the go-getters of the world with durability and comfort is our passion. Helping you enjoy life’s adventures—that’s our calling.
