The American Work Boots GW: Where Rugged Meets Refined
Inspired by the iconic work boots of the 1970s, these boots are built for adventure. Whether you're exploring city streets, conquering rugged trails, or tackling a day on the job, they'll be your trusted companion.
Every detail exudes style and substance. Admire the 70s work boots-inspired metal eyelets and genuine cowhide leather laces. Enjoy all-day comfort and support thanks to the padded collar, and experience a cloud-like feel with the additional 3mm vegetable-tanned leather insole on top of our standard 5mm insole for extra support.
Luxurious Leather, Unmatched Craftsmanship
We partnered with Opera Leather in Tuscany to create our exquisite Colima Leather. This thick, full-grain leather is not only incredibly durable but also boasts a stunning scotch grain finish, adding a touch of sophistication to these rugged boots.
Inspired by Yuki's old American Work Boots, we utilized Goodyear Scalloped Storm Leather Welt Construction. In this technique, our 360° hand-channeled, 5mm thick leather insoles are sewn to the upper using a strip of leather (the "welt"). A "scalloped storm leather welt" incorporates a welt with a built-in scalloped side wall, providing a more moisture-resistant, tight seal. Although labor-intensive and time consuming, our Goodyear Scalloped Storm Leather Welt Construction ensures superior artisanal construction, enhanced comfort, increased durability, additional water-resistance, easy resoling, and a beautiful, finished look.
Comfort & Support, Every Step of the Way
Our 5mm thick vegetable-tanned leather insole, combined with a shank and cork filling, provides unparalleled support and a custom fit that molds to your feet over time. The Italian-made Vibram Evaflex outsole ensures reliable traction and durability, no matter where your adventures take you.
