The Builder
When construction workers needed reliable footwear on the job in the 1900s, they turned to this classic silhouette largely because the wedge rubber outsole was said to grip onto steel better than other options. We pay homage to this design's history by pairing a new take on the silhouette with exclusive leather uppers, stitchdown construction, full vachetta leather insoles, leather shanks, counters, and box toe reinforcements, Starfit heel pad, and Vibram® Christy wedge outsoles. Handcrafted in small batches by our most senior artisans.
