2019 was a busy year over here. An amazingly meaningful collaboration with Mark Albert Boots. The launch of benefits-laden membership Stitchdown Premium. 516 Instagram posts. Hundreds of thousands of readers on 110 stories published to Stitchdown.com. One or two pairs of shoes worn.

On the second to last point in that list, I wanted to take a second to round up the 10 most-read stories (not including straight up shoe and boot reviews—all of which you can see right here). They’re below, in order, in case you missed any.

I can only hope you enjoy—and get ready for plenty more in 2020.
