Lot No. LK-032-BROWN
These boots are named after the workers who laid railroad tracks during the logging industry’s heyday. They feature a sturdy construction designed to provide foot protection while ensuring comfort during extended wear.
The horse-butt leather used in these boots is sourced from “Shinki Leather Co., Ltd.,” experts in horse leather tanning.
When you first put on these boots, the leather may feel a bit stiff at first, but rest assured—it will quickly mold to your feet, providing exceptional comfort.
The true value of this leather lies in its captivating visual appeal; its consistent, alluring grain pattern captivates the eye.
At Shinki Leather, surface treatments are kept to a minimum to preserve the leather’s natural texture.This approach allows authentic scars—such as those from insect bites or contact with sharp tree branches—that the horse acquired during its lifetime to remain subtly visible. Such imperfections are not flaws; rather, they are vital elements that enrich the story of this exceptionally beautiful leather.
Featuring Oak Dark-Tanned leather and a Woodsman’s Heel (a curve that curves inward), these shoes boast an elegant finish.
The sole uses VIBRAM, a world-renowned manufacturer, and offers exceptional durability.
Crafted using the Goodyear welt construction—one of the traditional methods for making leather shoes—it boasts durability achieved through intricate stitching.
This construction method, commonly found in vintage boots and high-end shoes, is characterized by a sturdiness that is unmatched by other methods.
Thanks to the intricate stitching and structure, the shoe’s well-balanced weight creates a pendulum-like motion while walking, providing excellent support.
One of the main attractions is that repairs such as sole and heel replacements are possible, allowing you to wear them semi-permanently.
We will deliver them in a dedicated box.
