The Challenger

A prominent boot reviewer once asked us, “Can you make a heavy duty boot with components and construction details in-line or better than the most expensive boots on the market?” Meet the Challenger. Featuring double stitched stitchdown construction, full leather toe cap overlay, fully gusseted tongue, 8mm leather midsole with internal grooves for flexibility, full vachetta leather insole, leather shanks, counter and toe box reinforcement, Starfit heel pad, 22mm stacked leather woodsman heel, and finished off with the Vibram V100 outsole. Handcrafted in small batches by our most senior artisans.

5-5.5oz Sesame Double Shot
Seidel Tannery — Milwaukee, USA

This "hot stuffed" pull-up leather is the culmination of Seidel's 75+ years as one of the premier tanneries in the USA. Featuring a unique multiple hot wax process that infuses the wax into the leather to create exceptionally rich color that patinas beautifully over time. Balancing buttery smoothness with the heartiness that comes with USA sourced full-grain hides makes this a special leather for leather lovers around the world.

Note: Variation in color is to be expected on initial wear.
