New 5515 MTO (Italy Roughout Hide)

About Bootmaker

All Iron Boots are fully handmade by our bootmaker Kai and 5 teammates together in a small studio at Guangzhou. They are built in handwelt or hand stitchdown, with channelled insole construction, which are stronger and last longer than normal Goodyear welted shoes/boots made by machines. Each pair is 100% hand welted, hand last, hand bottomed, and also hand-sewn outsole stitch.

About Leather

This roughout leather is made by Tannery Sciarada Industria Conciaria S.p.a. from Italy. This roughout leather is very smooth, and has a texture like suede. Also, it's a water proof leather, which is not only durable, but can also work for all types of weather conditions. If you are not sure which leather to start with, you will never go wrong with this roughout leather.

About Boots:

• Using last 5515Pro, based on dress shoe last but much wider (wider than Devil Dog & TCO), features wider toe box, and provides better heel grip and arch support!
• High spi (depends on construction, usually 7-10)
• Using felt as filler (instead of cork)
• Using leather shank (instead of steel)
• Using leather as stiffener for both toe and heel
• Dr Sole rubber sole included
• Express shipping included
• Note : Pictures are actually old model, which look very close to the current model. Remember it's double rolls of stitches near the cuff.
