Founded in Seattle in 1891 to outfit prospectors during the Alaska Gold Rush, Western Chief has evolved from making rugged work boots to becoming a staple for family-friendly waterproof footwear. The brand, owned by the fourth-generation, family-run Washington Shoe Company, is rooted in the rainy climate of the Pacific Northwest. Its identity is most famously expressed through its whimsical and colorful rain boots for children, often featuring characters, playful patterns, and easy-on handles.
