Project Ideas
Business
Mobile Boot Care for Crews
Launch a jobsite pop-up service: deep clean, condition, replace laces, swap insoles, and check safety toe integrity on the spot. Offer a subscription for trades crews on concrete-heavy sites where the wedge-style FLEX outsole shines. Upsell cedar trees, kilties, and aftercare kits; charge per pair or monthly per worker.
Custom Kilties & Branding Shop
Sell custom kilties, lace kits, and leather tongue guards online (Etsy/Shopify). Offer laser-etched or debossed logos for small contractors so crews can brand their Forge boots. Tiered pricing for bulk orders, color packs to match Seal Brown/Tan, and optional reflective or high-vis thread for safety-conscious teams.
Safety Boot Fit & Onboarding Program
Partner with local manufacturers and builders to run on-site fitting days. Stock common sizes (US 7–13, D width) and provide break-in guidance, ASTM steel-toe info, and arch support checks. Bundle the $99.99 boots with socks, insoles, and care kits; bill the employer or offer payroll deduction to streamline adoption.
Workwear Review Content Series
Create a YouTube/TikTok series: 30/90-day jobsite tests of the Forge Moc Toe versus other wedge-sole competitors. Log outsole wear on concrete, midsole compression, breathability of the mesh lining, and comfort over long shifts. Monetize with affiliate links, sponsorships, and downloadable fit/maintenance guides.
Refurbish & Resell Side Hustle
Source lightly used pairs locally, sanitize, replace PU insoles and laces, condition the cowhide, and tidy the moc-toe stitching. Offer honest listings with tread-depth photos and ASTM toe-cap checks. Set tiered pricing by condition and color; add optional add-ons like kilties or paracord laces to raise margins.
Creative
Custom Kilties and Tongue Guards
Design and cut removable leather kilties/tongue guards to protect the Forge moc toe’s eyelets from grit and add style. Use contrasting cowhide or oil-tan scraps, punch decorative patterns, and add brass eyelets so they lace in/out easily. Offer work-specific versions (longer kilties for grinding dust, shorter for carpentry) and color-match Seal Brown or create high-contrast Tan sets.
Waxed Canvas Gaiters for Dry Debris
Sew detachable, mid-height gaiters from heavy canvas or duck cloth and wax them for light debris and dust control. Snap or hook to the laces and wrap the boot collar to keep chips and sawdust out, complementing the steel toe’s protection. Note: this boot isn’t water resistant; position the gaiters for debris and splash deflection, not full waterproofing.
Cedar Boot Trees + Drying Rack
Build aromatic cedar boot trees sized for US 7–13 to keep the cowhide upper shaped and dry. Pair with a simple dowel-and-slat drying rack that promotes airflow into the mesh lining. Add a removable drip tray and a small USB fan port for faster post-shift drying without heat damage to the EVA midsole or PU insole.
Paracord Utility Lace Kit
Make heavy-duty, two-tone paracord laces cut to the Forge’s eyelet pattern. Finish with brass or heat-shrink aglets and include quick-lacing patterns for better instep lock or forefoot flex to complement the FLEX outsole. Bundle with spare lace keepers, reflective threads for low light, and a mini field repair kit.
Patina and Edge-Burnish Makeover
Run a leather care session to clean, condition, and burnish the cowhide for a rich patina. Use cream polish to deepen Seal Brown, edge-dye the welt, and apply a breathable wax blend for light repellency while preserving flexibility over the moc toe. Finish with a heel scuff guard and a stitched pull loop for easy on/off.
