Episode 45 // Paige Ehnle of No Roots Boots

Written By Danna Larson

This week on the podcast we’re in Metamora, Illinois (pop. 3,732) with Paige Ehnle of No Roots Boots. Paige has combined her passion for travel, meeting people, and high quality western and fashion boots into a boot store on wheels. She now road trips with her vintage Airstream to markets, fairs, festivals, concerts, and other events - selling her boots all over America. She’s sharing all about how she built her business and what she’s learned along the way.

The work ethic and character Paige learned growing up on the farm in Illinois is the foundation she has built her business upon. You’ll love learning how she took a risk to try something completely new and trusted her vision for No Roots Boots - and how that’s led to her success today!

I can go so many places and that last mile home is my favorite. Because so many of the things that have made me who I am today started there. I may not have known I was going to do this some day, but every character-building task my parents made me do when I didn’t feel like it has made me be able to do it now. It’s where I started and I’ll forever be thankful for that start.

My social media is authentic to how I sell in person. And I think that how you appear on social media should be the same way as your life.

— Paige Ehnle

I really like to support other entrepreneurs. If someone’s trying to build a business, if I can be a catalyst to help their creativity or even put money in their pocket when they’re starting, I think that’s amazing.
