The Almond Plain Toe Logging Boot combines traditional American work boot design with a refined silhouette and classic Goodyear Welted construction. Built on the Almond No.2 Last, this boot features a clean plain-toe design, Black Full Grain Cowhide, and traditional bootmaking craftsmanship.
Black Full Grain Cowhide:
The upper is crafted from Black Full Grain Cowhide, featuring a classic black finish and natural grain texture.
The leather retains the distinctive surface characteristics of full-grain cowhide, offering a clean, understated appearance that complements the traditional logging boot silhouette.
Unlike TeaCore leather, this version is not designed to reveal a contrasting brown base as the surface wears.
With regular wear, the leather gradually develops natural creases and subtle variations in surface texture, allowing each pair to acquire its own distinctive character over time.
Classic Plain Toe Design:
The traditional plain-toe design features a clean, uninterrupted forefoot without an additional cap-toe leather panel.
This minimalist design emphasizes the natural texture of the leather and the elongated, streamlined silhouette of the Almond No.2 Last.
The understated toe design preserves the practical character of traditional American work boots.
Almond No.2 Last – EU Sizing:
Built on the Almond No.2 Last, featuring a refined almond-shaped toe and an elongated, streamlined profile.
Compared with the rounded, anatomically inspired Munson Last, the Almond No.2 offers a more tapered and elongated forefoot silhouette.
This boot uses the EU European sizing system rather than US sizing.
Unlined Shaft & Calfskin Vamp Lining:
The shaft features an unlined construction, preserving the natural flexibility and character of the full-grain leather.
The vamp is lined with full-grain calfskin, providing a smooth interior surface around the forefoot.
Semi-Gusseted Tongue:
The boot features a semi-gusseted tongue, with the lower portion connected to the upper while the upper portion remains free.
This construction helps reduce the entry of dust and debris while allowing flexibility and easier adjustment around the ankle.
Traditional Lace-Up Configuration:
Four pairs of eyelets, three pairs of speed hooks, and one additional pair of eyelets at the top provide a traditional logging boot lacing configuration.
The combination allows convenient adjustment while maintaining the distinctive appearance of heritage work boots.
270° Goodyear Welted Construction:
The boot is constructed using traditional 270° Goodyear Welted construction with a flat welt.
This construction securely connects the upper and sole while allowing the outsole to be replaced by a qualified cobbler when necessary.
Leather Insole & Natural Latex Filling:
A 4 mm vegetable-tanned leather insole forms the foundation of the internal construction.
Premium Thai natural latex is used as the filling material, providing cushioning beneath the foot.
The leather insole is permanently integrated into the construction and is not removable.
Leather Midsole:
A leather midsole adds structure and support while preserving the traditional construction characteristics of heritage logging boots.
XS #1802 Full-Length Rubber Outsole:
The XS #1802 full-length rubber outsole provides durable ground contact and practical traction for everyday wear.
Stacked Leather Heel & Rubber Top Lift:
The heel combines a two-layer stacked leather heel base with an XS #2402 rubber heel, creating a traditional logging boot profile.
Built for Heritage:
Combining Black Full Grain Cowhide, the refined Almond No.2 Last, a clean plain-toe design, and traditional 270° Goodyear Welted construction, the Almond Plain Toe Logging Boot offers a distinctive interpretation of classic American work footwear.
