Black Zang Yak Leather (Coarse Grain):
Crafted from Black Zang Yak Leather (Coarse Grain), supplied by Zang Yak Leather.
The leather features pronounced natural grain patterns and a distinctive coarse texture, creating a rugged appearance that differs from conventional smooth cowhide.
The black finish highlights the depth and irregularity of the natural grain, giving the leather a rich, textured character.
Natural variations in grain pattern, texture, and surface appearance are inherent characteristics of yak leather, making each pair visually unique.
With regular wear, the leather gradually develops natural creases and subtle changes in surface texture, allowing each pair to acquire its own distinctive character over time.
Classic CapToe Design:
The traditional cap-toe design features an additional leather panel across the forefoot, creating a distinctive and balanced appearance.
The cap-toe detailing adds visual definition while preserving the practical character of traditional American military and work boots.
The combination of pronounced yak leather grain and classic cap-toe styling creates a distinctive heritage appearance.
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.
Its balanced proportions combine the traditional character of heritage work boots with a refined and versatile appearance.
This boot uses the EU European sizing system.
Unlined Shaft & Calfskin Vamp Lining:
The shaft features an unlined construction, preserving the natural flexibility and character of the yak 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 Logging Boot Lacing:
Four pairs of eyelets, three pairs of speed hooks, and one additional pair of eyelets at the top create a traditional logging boot lacing configuration.
The speed hooks allow convenient lacing adjustments, while the upper eyelets provide additional fastening options.
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 Counter:
A leather counter provides structure and support around the heel, helping the boot maintain its shape with 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 cannot be removed.
Premium Thai Natural Latex Filling:
Premium Thai natural latex is used as the filling material beneath the leather insole, providing cushioning and contributing to underfoot comfort.
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.
Its full-length rubber construction complements the rugged character of the logging boot design.
Traditional Stacked Leather Heel:
The heel combines a two-layer stacked leather heel base with an XS #2402 rubber heel.
This combination creates a traditional logging boot heel profile while providing a durable rubber contact surface.
