The Chosen One (All Leather MTO)

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 Boots:

• Using last TCO, based on dress shoe last but wider, features wider toe box, and provides better heel grip and arch support!
• High spi (depends on construction, usually 7-10)
  
• Using wool 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
• Note : photos are using Iron Boots' Brown Russian Calf/Reindeer, Toscanello (brown) Maryam Horse Butt TPR, Coffee Brown waxed bullhide, and Teak Featherstone leather
