These boots from Saddleback Leather Co. are really impressive. Pull one out of the box and immediately feel the quality and meticulous design: the leather is dense and smooth, with a gorgeous welted sole designed to last years. These are built on the Munson Last, an anatomical boot shape developed for the US Army in 1912 and still considered one of the best-fitting lasts ever made. Saddleback uses leather welt construction throughout, which means you can have them resoled indefinitely. The Good Sole sole is a custom three-layer rubber compound, graded from shock-absorbing underfoot to abrasion-resistant at the contact surface, screwed at the heel. Handcrafted in Italy, but designed by Saddleback in Texas. 100-year warranty. Comes in dark coffee brown or natural.
