G.H Bass

Established in 1876 by George Henry Bass of Wilton, Maine, G.H. Bass & Co. began with a man on a simple mission ­ to make the best possible shoe for the purpose in which it will be used. A hard-won reputation for quality, comfort and durability is exactly what has kept Bass in business for almost a century and a half.
