Description

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 only the highest quality leathers, Vibram soles, and John's own custom lasts.

Originally debuting in the Fall/Winter of 2024, John Lofgren's El Capitan Boots are stylistically somewhere between the M-43 and the Lofgren Combat Boot — an old school military style shoe with the usual heavy duty construction. Featuring a flat unstructured toe and a more robust heel cup and counter, it's just the right balance for optimum durability, with a little more traction thanks to the mini-lug outsole.

These are made from a gorgeous heavyweight dark brown waxed flesh cowhide leather, produced by the Horween Tannery in Chicago — a hardy and durable leather that develops an exceptional patina with wear. We've carried a handful of other waxed flesh other boots over the years, and it can't be beat for maintainability, comfort, and aging. Though it starts out stiff, the waxed finish makes the leather more resistant to the elements, additionally flattening the surface of the leather into a more smooth and shiny texture. Over time, the wax will wear down and scuff away, revealing the much lighter brown roughout texture of the leather, aging uniquely for each wearer.

As far as leather goes, it's thick and sturdy, starting out noticeably stiff and requiring a few weeks of good wear to really break-in. After that, the leather begins to relax considerably, moulding to take the shape of the wearer's foot and softening at flex points to move more easily.

They stand on the Vibram 430 sole and heel combo, a low-profile sole with a plush and discreet lug pattern underneath. Offering great traction and comfort without adding visual bulk, they are a favorite for both city and country.
