These are named for the folks who operated "steam donkeys", steam-driven winches used in logging at the end of the 19th century. The operators were known as "donkey punchers". 

Nomenclature aside, when John Lofgren sets out to build a pair of boots, he builds the most comfortable, highest quality boot he can. All of the work is done in Japan from start to finish, using Horween Chromexcel leather, Vibram soles, and John's own custom last.

Choose 1 size smaller than your Brannock device size.
