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. Crafted using Teacore black Horsebutt leather from the Shinki-Hikaku's Tannery of Japan, the hide is tanned to preserve its natural character, showcasing authentic marks and scarring received throughout the horse's lifespan. The boots' construction incorporates classic Goodyear welt procedures using USA-made storm welts and is anchored with Vibram's 700 soles and 700 heels.
