Airborne Boot - Natural Horse Strip
$395.00
The timeless Airborne boot is a rugged yet refined take on the jumper boots worn by American paratroopers diving feet first into Europe. Our contemporary design features the classic brogue cap toe and a well-proportioned swooping heel cap built on a hand-welted vegetable-tanned foundation.
In homage to this heritage, the Airborne Boot exclusively uses American-tanned uppers.
Made with Natural Horween Horse Strip, also known as "North of Cordovan," using leather derived from butts used in Shell Cordovan production. After the first stage of tanning, the shells and strips are separated: the resulting strip can handle much more wear and tear than calfskin, all while developing a rich patina.
Paired with our studded rubber sole, perfect for maintaining a clean profile while having excellent durability, grip, and comfort.

Hand-Welt Construction
Hand-Welt Construction
Each pair is welted by hand to ensure a lifetime of wear, resoles, and memories.
While hand welting and lasting takes longer, the result is better fitting, more durable, and comfortable shoes.
All while ensuring every pair receives only the highest attention to detail.
