The Ironclad work boots, also known as "bear toe" boots, originated as rugged footwear for workers in the early 20th century Minnesota logging industry and railway transportation. These boots are built to meet the daily demands of hard-working professionals.
Crafted with premium Shinki Hikaku Shell Cordovan leather from Japan, the Ironclad boots are renowned for their exceptional durability and rich, natural patina that develops over time. The Italian cowhide lining provides comfort and breathability, while the JR RENDENBACH leather insole (from discontinued inventory) offers superior underfoot support.
The 3/4 hand-sewn welt construction ensures long-lasting wear, while the Biltrite half sole and Cat's Paw half heel outsole (also from discontinued inventory) deliver excellent traction and shock absorption for demanding environments. The 7 eyelets, including 3 speed hooks, allow for a secure and customizable fit.
Please note: Shinki Hikaku Shell Cordovan is a special batch product. Due to limited demand, it is hard to resell. We do not accept returns or exchanges unless there is a quality issue. Please consider carefully before placing your order. Thank you for your understanding.
