Vinlands' End hiking boots
Plural: Vinlands' End hiking boots
Part of the Erik the Red line of outdoors gear, these biking hoots ... er, hiking boots ... are generally only available through mail-order and internet shopping. The misplaced apostrophe in the company's name is an interesting story. Apparently the founder was under the mistaken impression that there used to be two separate Vinlands, back in the day. This misconception was later cleared up, but it was too late to change company marketing. To this day the owner continues to blame his mistake on a skraeling.
