Joe Lyons

Joe Lyons (SMG’82) of Reading, Mass., cofounded a men’s footwear start-up, Boston Boot Company. “As Boston’s first ‘microshoery,’ we will use only the best materials to craft shoes in small batches, with Boston’s style and sensibilities as our main inspiration,” he writes. “We launched a Kickstarter campaign in November to gauge the market and presell our boots, and the response was overwhelmingly positive.” Visit www.bostonbootco.com.
