The 2024 Xmas special from the master bootmakers at John Lofgren are their classic Wabash Engineer boots and M43’s in Horweens Dark Brown waxed flesh leather. Waxed flesh leather is very versatile. It starts off as you see, heavily waxed and gradually overtime the wax starts to wear in areas of stress and movement to reveal the dark Brown roughout leather below giving the boot a very unique worn in look. It is very popular across the ranges we stock. It’s very hard wearing and if you would prefer to keep the waxed look you can simply re-wax them when the time is right.

The John Lofgren M-43 service boots are Johns take on the original service boot issued to the armed forces in (you guessed it) 1943. As true to the original as possible whilst still receiving Johns own twist they are built for comfort and longevity.

The Munson lasts: Are very shapely, have a nice slim waist with a sleek munson shaped toe, are snug throughout the foot (as they should be when sized correctly) with plenty toe wiggle room. There is no toe box so the toe will flatten some and shape to the wearer.

Comfort: These are extremely comfortable boots from the moment you slide your foot in. The leather feels solid but pliable, the heel is slightly oversized giving you a sure footed work boot like feel underfoot and the munson styled lasts are particularly comfortable for all day wear.

Construction & finish: The best materials and construction methods have been used in these boots, just see the DETAILS tab. The stitching is very neat and uniform, the heel well balanced and elegantly shaped and the sole trim is even and nicely done.

They really are great fitting and feeling boots and they look superb. Another hit for John Lofgren.
