Workingman's Boots

Workingman's Boots

$145.00Price

Our reproduction of an original pair of boots similar to many sold by various hardware stores and mail-order catalogs between 1880 and 1930. These are well-made with good leather and solid, double stitching. THIS IS AN IMPROVED RUN OVER OUR FIRST OFFERING! Improvements include a bellows tongue, upgraded eyelets, historically correct laces, and reinforced stitching.

They are lightly dyed but can be easily over-dyed if you want a different color. Black, and all shades of brown and cordovan are appropriate to the period. AT THE VERY LEAST, YOU NEED TO SEAL THEM WITH SHOE GREASE OR A WAX POLISH.

Note comparison to 1907 catalog advertisement in photos.

Sizing runs similar to Red Wing or Ariat. Order a half-size larger if you plan to wear thick socks in them. I have been using a pair from the first run for about 3 years, and I can say that they have held up well and are the most comfortable historical shoes I've ever worn. These are wildly correct, durable, and comfortable. See video links in section below for information on finishing or dying these boots.

  • How to finish your Workingman's Boots

    You will need to seal your boots with a good, natural shoe grease or wax-based polish. There are two great videos on how to do this as well as how to dye them a different color.
