Lot No. LK-004-BLACK
These are sturdy, 6-inch logger-style boots. The name “Donkey Puncher” comes from the operators of steam engines known as “steam donkeys,” which were used in the American logging industry around the late 19th century.
■The leather is the highest-grade Chromexcel leather (aniline-finished oil-tanned leather, thickness: 2.0–2.3 mm) from HORWEEN, a long-established American leather manufacturer.
Chromexcel leather contains a high oil content, so it molds comfortably to your feet right from the start. It is also resistant to cracking even with extended wear and is characterized by its thickness combined with softness.
The lining is made from Japanese horsehide, ensuring a comfortable fit and a premium feel.
■ Triple-stitching is applied to areas prone to pressure, and the stitching—a hallmark of Japanese craftsmanship—creates a beautiful finish.
■Featuring layered Oak Dark Tan leather and a Woodsman’s heel (with a curved, indented shape on the inside), these boots have an elegant finish.
■The soles are made by the world-renowned manufacturer VIBRAM, ensuring exceptional durability.
■A removable forstank (which protects the boots and distributes pressure from the laces) is included.
■Crafted using the Goodyear welt construction—one of the traditional methods for making leather shoes—these boots boast exceptional durability thanks to their intricate stitching.
This construction method, commonly found in vintage boots and high-end shoes, is characterized by a level of sturdiness that is unmatched by other methods.
The complex stitching and structure give the boots just the right weight, creating a pendulum-like motion that supports your stride.
A key appeal is that repairs, such as sole or heel replacements, are possible, allowing you to wear them semi-permanently.
