About Us

With more than a decade working for one of Nations most well known Western Brands, Michael built his career on a simple code: take care of people, honor the lifestyle, and work hard for what matters. Starting from managing the sales floor to leading an entire fleet of retail locations years later, he learned firsthand what real boot-wearing customers value — authenticity, durability, and integrity. The idea for Travel Jack was born the hard way. After a long day and clocking 3.8 miles on foot — courtesy of the pandemic and some wildly inaccurate Google listings — Michael ended up at the airport with swollen feet and wearing a pair of barely broken-in boots. Since no one is inclined to travel with the standard giant wooden boot jack - he found himself literally stuck in his boots until a kind TSA agent grabbed a chair and helped wrestle them off in a 10 minute white knuckle gripping gymnastics battle. Now red faced, sweating, and feeling like a feature of the evening news, he thought: “There has to be a travel-sized boot jack out there".

There wasn’t, So he got to work.

5 years in the making and what now what feels like 100 designs and prototypes later - Travel Jack was born: a compact, collapsible, travel-ready boot jack built for people who live in their boots and love the journey. Rooted in Western grit, shaped by real-world experience, and driven by a founder who loves and knows the lifestyle — this is the story of Travel Jack.

And it’s just getting started.
