Editorial enquiries

Writing a piece on independent bootmakers, sustainable footwear, the craft revival, made-to-order fashion, or any related angle? We'd love to talk. We're happy to speak with journalists, contribute to articles, share our perspective on the industry, and provide background, photography, or quotes. High-resolution photography, brand assets, founder bios, and press materials are available on request. Just let us know what you need and your deadline.

Brand collaborations

Some of our favourite work has come from partnering with other independent makers and brands — leather goods, denim, hats, accessories, even unexpected categories where the aesthetic clicks. If you're a brand whose work we'd respect and you're thinking about a capsule release, co-branded design, or one-off collaboration, send us a note.

Tell us who you are, what you make, and what you're imagining. We won't pursue every opportunity — collaborations only work when both brands genuinely belong on the same boot — but we'll always reply.

Creator partnerships

If you're a content creator, journalist, stylist, or storyteller whose work resonates with what we make — boots that last, craft that takes time, considered design — we'd like to find ways to work together.When you reach out, please tell us a bit about who you are, where your work lives (publication, channel, audience), and what you have in mind. The more specific the better — a clear creative idea or angle is easier to say yes to than a generic outreach. 

A note: we don't accept "feature in exchange for free product" arrangements. Every pair is hand-built and represents real materials, real labour, and real cost. We're happy to discuss legitimate collaborations where there's mutual value, but unpaid product gifting isn't part of how we work.

Affiliate & partner programs

We work with a small group of trusted affiliates and partners who genuinely love our boots and have audiences we'd be proud to reach. If that sounds like you — a writer, retailer, fitter, stylist, niche publication, or community with relevant readership — get in touch.

We'll share our affiliate terms, commission structure, and discount code arrangements with everyone we approve. We keep the program small and selective so partners stand out and customers don't feel marketed to from every angle.

How to get in touch

For all media and partnership enquiries, email us directly at howdy@temperandstone.com.  We aim to respond within five business days. As a small team we sometimes take a little longer — particularly during production-heavy weeks — but we read everything and we'll always come back to you.
