  • The John Lofgren Bootmaker M-43 Service Shoes are meticulously crafted World War II-style boots, entirely made in Japan. Designed to faithfully replicate WWII Army service boots, the LK-017 design features classic Boondocker paneling atop the original Munson last.

The boots' construction incorporates classic Goodyear welt procedures using USA-made storm welts and is anchored with Vibram's 700 soles and 700 heels.
