After a six year hiatus I decided it's time to start the blog again. The Work Boot Warehouse on 4th Avenue and 39th street will be closing in August. Owner Kal Long will be moving to Florida and retiring with his family. The place has been a sort of institution in Sunset Park for the last thirty or so years. Kal started selling boots out of his van near Costco when it first opened up in the neighborhood. In fact after a few years he was so successful that he went on to open a location not far from the Lutheran Hospital on 2nd Avenue after a few years he moved to the current location and has been there since. He has been having a big sale on his inventory which will last until the end of the month. Sorry to see him go. Perhaps if you're reading this before he closes you can drop by and and bid him farewell and good luck and maybe buy something as well.
