John Lofgren M-43 SERVICE SHOES 10th ANNIVERSARY HORSEHIDE US11.5
New and rare (sold out)!
John Lofgren Bootmaker is celebrating our 10th anniversary this year. To commemorate this milestone we're producing special edition M-43 service shoes in Italian horsehide. The hides arrive to Japan unfinished, where the final tanning and dyeing takes place by superb craftspeople. Then the finished hides are shipped to the boot factory where they're turned on sale into John Lofgren Bootmaker footwear by the best people in the business.
John Lofgren Bootmaker M-43 Service Shoes are not simple reproductions of WWII U.S. Army service shoes. Not just another boondocker. They are a modern-day piece de resistance of footwear, carefully designed to meet the needs of contemporary life, but still look very classic, down to the distinctive Munson last shape. The Munson last was patented in 1912 by U.S. Army doctor, Edward Munson. Dr. Munson perfected his last after studying the feet of more than two thousand soldiers. Our M-43 Service Shoes, like all John Lofgren Bootmaker footwear, are totally built in Japan with master craftsmanship in all details.
