Lot No. LK-004-BURGUNDY
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 to your feet comfortably right from the start. It is also resistant to cracking even with prolonged wear and is characterized by its thick yet supple texture.
The lining is made from Japanese-made horsehide, providing 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, offering exceptional durability.
■A removable toe cap (which protects the boot and distributes pressure from the laces) is included.
■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 sturdiness that far surpasses other methods.
The intricate 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.

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