INSIDE FCTRY LAB - WE BUILD DIFFERENT
FCTRY LAb is an end-to-end footwear studio that turns bold ideas into real, wearable shoes. Fashion models, pro athletes, indie founders and global brands all work with our LA team to take concepts from sketch to shelf under one roof.
3D designs go straight to fabric for fast sampling and precise paneling. Every sample is then hand-built and refined, pairing old-world craft with new-school speed. Lasts are modeled, graded and wear-tested for fit across every size, and every shoe passes lab and real-world testing before it ships.
Founder Omar Bailey spent two decades designing sneakers for the industry's biggest names. With FCTRY LAb, he flips the script, giving athletes and artists the tools to sketch, prototype and release their own pairs. The goal: open up sneaker creation, one pair at a time.

The Utility Boot comes in men's US 8–13. Add two to your women's size to convert, so a women's 10 orders a men's 8, which is our smallest size.
It has a foam midsole (EVA foam) with a TPU shank for stability, a textured rubber toe cap that helps it hold its shape, a foam-backed collar that wraps the ankle, and a rubber outsole with molded rubber spikes.
It's water-resistant, not waterproof. It holds up well in wet weather and the spiked outsole grips dirt, gravel, snow and mud, but it isn't made to be submerged.
The molded rubber spikes were inspired by the nubs on new tires and give you extra traction underfoot on dirt, gravel, snow and mud.
No. The spikes are rubber, so they won't scratch indoor floors. Like any rubber outsole, they will wear down eventually, but only over a very long period of wear.
Yes. It’s lined with foam on the inside to keep your feet warm, and paired with the right socks, it’s ready for cold weather.
A pair of OB-1 Utility Boots weighs about 2.6 kg (5.7 lb).
Yes, it's ready out of the box. The plush collar wraps your ankle from the first wear and the rubber toe cap keeps the front solid.
Wipe it down with mild soap and water or a standard shoe cleaner, then let it air dry away from direct heat.
Both are Omar Bailey designs. The OB-1 is an embossed-leather sneaker (Low or High) with an EVA outsole for everyday wear; the Utility Boot puts a boot upper on a running-shoe-style sole with a spiked rubber outsole for rougher ground.
The Duck Boot is an injected-foam boot with a neoprene lining, a vegan leather collar and a gum rubber outsole, built for rain and snow. The Utility Boot has a foam midsole with a TPU shank, a rubber toe cap and a spiked rubber outsole.
You can return the Utility Boot within 30 days of delivery if it’s unworn, with tags attached and in its original packaging, the same as our other shoes. Please do check our returns policy.
