BOOTS ARE MEANT TO TAKE YOU
SOMEWHERE |
|
Maybe it’s somewhere you need to go. A different way of life you
yearn to live. Or simply the need to fight for what’s right. Elijah
Burton defied convention to find his own independent path.
Where will yours take you? |

WHEN ELIJAH BURTON WAS A YOUNG BOY GROWING UP IN
NEW JERSEY, HE HAD AN INDELIBLE OCEAN EXPERIENCE
THAT MADE HIM FEEL TINY AND HELPLESS, ENMESHED
WITH THE LARGER FORCES OF NATURE IN A WAY THAT
LEFT HIM TERRIFIED. |
|
He was a strong swimmer, but found himself caught in a rip
current, watching the shore and his family recede far out of reach.
He realized he’d never been so far from the beach. “The ocean is
the thing that I'm the most afraid of,” said Burton. “But it holds the
thing that I love so much. If you work with the ocean, it gives you
what you desire.” |
