Eugene, OR, November 30, 2009 -- “No more ties, cologne and putter warmers, please!” That’s what many men are pleading this year. Baker’s Top 7 Coolest Holiday Gift Ideas for Men Who Love the Outdoors list (www.bakershoe.com/holiday/) includes a gift eCertificate for their new Build A Boot™ system for ordering custom boots.
With a Build A Boot™ eCertificate, outdoor enthusiasts and outdoor workers can go online and create their own one-of-a-kind custom boots choosing from three different USA boot brands and numerous boot attributes, including color, lacing, welt, toe vamp, heel, sole and others. It’s the only custom boots website with these options.
Build A Boot™ is the creation of Baker’s Shoes & Clothing, an outdoor outfitter run by three generations of Eugene Oregon’s Baker family. Owner Gene Baker said, “We have a legacy of building custom boots. My Dad, Dave Baker, and my uncle Bill Baker made custom-order boots for customers starting back in the 1950s. Now we’re expanding this unique service to the world via the Internet. Our family believes this online method for creating custom boots (www.bakershoe.com/build-a-boot/) will revolutionize the footwear industry… finally letting people create boots with the exact custom features they always wanted.”

About Baker’s Shoes & Clothing
In the early 1950's, Bill Baker started working with his father-in-law in a Eugene, Oregon custom boot shop and 1,200 sq. ft. store known as Purkey's Shoes. Bill's brother Dave joined him in the early Sixties and it soon became Baker's Shoes. Dave's son Gene Baker took over the business in 1985 and worked with his cousin and brother to keep the family business growing. Since then, Baker’s has expanded the footwear selection and added outdoor clothing and gear to its inventory, now in a 7,800 sq. ft. store plus a retail website. Gene’s sons Kyle and Brandon also work for the business. In 2009, the Baker Family launched the interactive Build A Boot™ website with the ability to select attributes and enlarge/zoom in on features to create custom handmade boots. Gene Baker said, “We believe boot-buyers everywhere will enjoy this exciting new system based on our business model from 50 years ago: the ability to order a pair of boots to your exact specifications.”
Baker’s Shoe & Clothing also offers all kinds of holiday gifts for women, teens and kids who love the outdoors. Visit their website (www.bakershoe.com) to browse their WOMENS, JUNIORS and KIDS sections; plus their GEAR section.
