Olathe Boot Company · Identification

Documentation limits

• The post-1978 / pre-2001 ownership chain needs deeper primary documents.
• “Since 1875” is a heritage claim spanning factory closure + later asset purchase — not continuous Kansas-factory production.
• Secondary lore on Orsheln / a brief Tony Lama Hyer afterlife is thinner than the KSHS sale-and-closure spine.
• The modern HYER relaunch is separate and stays fenced.
