Description
These boots are fashioned from glove-tanned leather, known among us smiths for its balance of suppleness and toughness, then fully covered in soft suede to the touch. Inside, a cushioned insole about 1/8″ thick supports the foot through long hours, while the rubber sole provides reliable grip and comfort on varied terrain. The design speaks to a no-nonsense, practical approach, much like the footwear worn by laborers and travelers who needed sturdy boots to carry them through their daily journeys.
For those who favor a bit of traditional style, there is a version with leather fringe, echoing the decorative touches once common in frontier footwear.
Fun fact: Fringeless low leather boots were favored by frontier settlers and traders because without fringe, the boots were less likely to catch on brush or gear, making them ideal for the rough and tumble of daily life on the trail.
