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
The bison leather is made by Seidel Tannery in USA. It's a super durable leather option. This bison leather is thick, but still very soft and supple. The natural grain on the bison has built a very unique character. The only drawback is a relative low yeild due to the grain, but we try our best to pick the best part from each hide.
