Lot No. LK-004-ROUGHOUT

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 used 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 thick yet supple texture. (Natural-colored Roughout)
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—results in a beautiful finish.
■Featuring layered Oak Dark Tan leather and a Woodsman’s heel (with a curved, indented shape on the inside), these boots boast an elegant finish.
■The soles are made by the world-renowned manufacturer VIBRAM, ensuring exceptional durability.
■Includes a removable toe cap (which protects the boot and distributes pressure from the laces).
■Crafted using the Goodyear welt construction—one of the traditional methods for leather shoes—these boots boast exceptional durability thanks to their intricate stitching.
This construction method, commonly found in vintage boots and high-end footwear, is characterized by a level of sturdiness that far surpasses other methods.
The complex stitching and structure provide just the right amount of 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 virtually indefinitely.
■Delivered in a dedicated box.

Each piece of natural leather has its own unique character. You may notice minor scratches or wrinkles, but please enjoy these as part of the leather’s natural design. We look forward to your order with your understanding.

Due to the suede finish, there may be scuff marks on the inside of the boots. These are unavoidable byproducts of the manufacturing process. We look forward to your order with your understanding.
