Komito Boots in Estes Park, closed indefinitely

I drive by the shop all the time and noticed this posted on the door 8/23/22. I just hope Steve is feeling better and wanted to wholeheartedly express love and concern for this legend. 

Steve is a good man. I have always enjoyed talking with him. He has continued to do excellent work. 

Steve's an old friend of mine.  Lived at his place in Boulder, worked woith him mat Gerry's, did a lot of climbing with him.  I left Boulder & guided for Exum for 10 years.  Sent him worn-out boots many times.  His general comment: "These are pieces of junk.  Get new ones!"  Especially good friend.  Hope he's ok.  My love, regards, & hopeful wishes.

Steve's a legend.

Get better soon!

Steve has been doing well. He’s been back at work since February, although he doesn’t have as much energy and can’t get as much done as he used to. I need to go pick up a pair that he recently finished for me. 

Will, Steve and George, thanks for commenting on this fellas! I was overjoyed to see him up and at 'em earlier this year to pick up shoes. Still the best resole around; attention to detail, remarkable craftsmanship. I'm just so happy he's with us! Please come have a beer with me if you're ever up in Estes!

Will do!

Btw Steve can do resoles with 5.5mm Unparallel RH, which I think is the best out there.

Will — Jay Mather and I visited you in Wilson, March 1973. You and he did some Bluegrass jamming. Alice took Jay and me on a great powder run from the pass down to town, on skinny skis. For laughs, we went to the “Ka-boy” Bar. And I led Jay up Raven Crack at Blacktail: no pro and lots of snow. It was a fun week!
