BED:STU is lean, fast, and tough like the streets that inspired our shoes.  And as long as we can make our way, we will make shoes for those who have no use for the beaten path.” Bed Stu.  Boots that the boys at Bed Stu like to call “old soul, with modern style, and a rebellious spirit”.  Seems to us they pretty much nailed it.
