Scotch Grain Annonay Calf Devil Dog

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

Annonay Tannery is very famous for their calf leather. Their calf is one of the best calf you can find in the world. Annonay Tannery is the main leather provider for Hermes, and is also owned by Hermes.

Scotch Grain Annonay Calf is a very soft leather. So it's more forgiving than other leathers. It feels very comfortable, and very easy to break in if need any.

About Boots:

• 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
