About

Mike Hensley

Mike spent his career in footwear — years at Genesco, Melville, and Microdynamics, Inc., specializing in footwear CAD system training and customer support, before Timberland, and then founding Allegiance Footwear and the AFBoots line. Along the way he built the kind of hands-on knowledge that only comes from cutting patterns, fitting lasts, and walking prototypes through a factory floor.

He keeps two benches busy: pattern work for footwear makers who need an experienced hand, and a sign shop serving customers around town. Same person, same standards, whichever one you need.
