John Lofgren Bootmaker Combat Boots Horween Leather CXL Timber

About this product

The John Lofgren Combat Boots draw inspiration from the U.S. Army Type II combat boot, paying tribute to the original's iconic features – distinctive toe caps, subtle broguing, and a timeless military silhouette. True to Lofgren's vision, these details are reimagined with modern refinement, meeting the needs of today's wearer without compromising authenticity. Each upper is expertly sewn by a master Japanese craftsman who has worked with the brand since its inception, a testament to the uncompromising quality that defines John Lofgren footwear.

The uppers are crafted from Horween Chromexcel leather in timber brown – thick yet supple, sourced from the world-renowned Horween tannery in Chicago. Chromexcel is tanned over 28 days using a proprietary combination tanning process, producing a leather that delivers immediate comfort and long-term durability while developing a rich patina over years of wear.

Built on the engineer last, these boots feature a sleek waist, rounded toe, and carefully considered proportions that create a shapely yet functional profile. They deliver a secure fit across the foot with just the right amount of toe room – striking a balance between comfort and structure. Slip them on and you'll feel the glove-like embrace, complemented by a balanced heel that offers the sure-footed stability of a true work boot.

Construction follows traditional Goodyear welt methodology, ensuring the boots can be resoled repeatedly for decades of wear. Details include Japanese-made steel shanks for arch support, Japanese-made crepe rubber soles and heels for comfortable grip, and an embossed padded leather heel pad for all-day comfort. The silhouette sits on a 1.25' heel with a 6' shaft, built on the John Lofgren 120 last.

Handcrafted in Japan, these Combat Boots embody sophistication, ruggedness, and versatility in equal measure – built to pair with denim, chinos, or uniform-inspired ensembles while enduring decades of wear. Packaged with a Japanese-made John…
