Est. in 1876 by George Henry Bass of Wilton, Maine, G.H. Bass & Co. began with a man on a simple mission “to build the best possible shoe for the purpose for which it is to be used.” A hard-won reputation for quality, comfort and durability is exactly what has kept Bass in business for almost a century and a half. Personifying the American spirit, Bass shoes have been worn for generations, shaping them into an iconic symbol of discovery, perseverance and self-expression. Our customers are born from the backbone of American history. They represented our nation. They explored territories unknown. They defined pop culture. They saw the world from a new perspective. And Bass was with them every step of the way. 140 years later, Bass has evolved into a modern outdoors lifestyle brand, including Mens & Womens Footwear, Apparel, Sportswear, Workwear, Outerwear, Bags & Accessories.
