Wine TeaCore Smooth Cowhide:

Crafted from Wine TeaCore Smooth Cowhide supplied by TYCHE Leather, Taiwan.

The leather features a smooth wine-colored surface with the distinctive aging characteristics of teacore leather.

With regular wear, natural creases, scuffs, and abrasion gradually reveal the underlying leather color, creating subtle variations in tone and appearance.

These natural changes give each pair its own distinctive character over time.

Munson Last – US Sizing:

Built on the Munson Last, inspired by the anatomical shape of the human foot and traditional American military footwear.

The last features a rounded toe with a relatively generous forefoot profile, allowing more room for natural toe positioning compared with narrower, more tapered lasts.

Its distinctive silhouette preserves the practical character of traditional military footwear.

This boot uses the US American sizing system.

Classic Military-Inspired Design:

The Munson City Paratroop Boot draws inspiration from traditional military service footwear.

Its clean upper design, seven pairs of brass eyelets, and distinctive Munson Last silhouette create a timeless military-inspired appearance.

The wine-colored teacore leather complements the traditional design while gradually developing individual character through regular wear.

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 Brass Eyelets:

Seven pairs of brass eyelets provide a classic military-inspired lacing configuration.

The traditional eyelet arrangement allows adjustment around the foot and ankle while maintaining a clean and understated appearance.

360° Goodyear Welted Construction:

The boot is constructed using traditional 360° Goodyear Welted construction with a flat welt.

The welt extends around the entire perimeter of the boot, securely connecting the upper and sole.

This construction allows the outsole to be replaced by a qualified cobbler when necessary.

TECNOGI Fabric Counter:

The boot features a heel counter made from TECNOGI Fabric, Italy.

This component provides structural support around the heel and helps the boot maintain its shape during regular wear.

4 mm Vegetable-Tanned Leather Insole:

A 4 mm vegetable-tanned leather insole forms the foundation of the internal construction.

The leather insole is permanently integrated into the boot and is not removable.

Premium Thai Natural Latex Filling:

Premium Thai natural latex is used as the filling material beneath the leather insole.

This material provides cushioning and contributes to underfoot comfort.

Rubber Midsole:

A rubber midsole complements the lightweight sole configuration while providing a practical foundation between the welted construction and outsole.

XS #2401 Ultra Light EVA Outsole:

The boot features an XS #2401 Ultra Light EVA Outsole, designed to reduce the overall weight of the footwear.

The lightweight EVA construction provides a lighter underfoot experience compared with traditional heavy rubber outsoles, making it suitable for everyday wear.

Decorative Leather Heel Strap:

The leather strap at the back of the boot is designed for decorative purposes only and must not be used as a pull tab.

Pulling the leather strap may cause it to tear or break.

Customers who prefer a functional heel pull tab can request a free replacement with a durable webbing pull tab before placing their order.

Built for Everyday Heritage:

Combining Wine TeaCore Smooth Cowhide from TYCHE Leather, the anatomically inspired Munson Last, traditional 360° Goodyear Welted construction, and the XS #2401 Ultra Light EVA Outsole, the Munson City Paratroop Boot offers a lightweight interpretation of classic military-inspired footwear.
