Lot No. LK-040-WAXEDNATURAL
This boot is a tribute to the majestic 3,000-foot granite landmark located within Yosemite National Park. Inspired by this awe-inspiring natural wonder, this boot is built to withstand Yosemite’s rugged terrain and diverse trails—and wherever else your journey may take you.
Crafted to the impeccable standards for which John Lofgren Boot Company is renowned, the El Capitan Boot boasts unparalleled construction and comfort.
With a design reminiscent of early 20th-century classics, this boot exudes timeless elegance.
They embody a fusion of traditional craftsmanship and modern innovation. Designed to accompany you on every adventure—from the trails of Yosemite to the urban jungle—the El Capitan Boots let you experience the essence of quality and craftsmanship.
The leather features an oil- and wax-treated suede finish, creating a smooth and refined texture.
Compared to standard Chromexcel leather, this leather offers even greater water resistance.
Waxed Fresh Leather was inspired by a true story from World War II: when Horween supplied Chromexcel leather for Marine Corps military boots, the soldiers would apply wax to the outside of the boots themselves to enhance their water resistance.
As you wear the boots, the wax gradually wears off, revealing a suede-like texture that brings out the leather’s true character. Please enjoy the unique patina that develops over time.
The soles are made by the world-renowned manufacturer VIBRAM and offer exceptional durability.
We use American-made 430 soles and heels.
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 durability that is unmatched by other methods.
Thanks to its complex stitching and structure, the shoe’s ideal weight creates a pendulum-like motion while walking, providing excellent support.
A key appeal 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.
