Shop Storm BootThe Breakwater Last combines 600 years of Northern European bootmaking tradition with improvements to ergonomics pioneered only recently. A form-fitting heel and instep provide stability and promote good posture, dropping and broadening toward at the waist for traction focused at the forefoot, only to taper toward the toe. The result is secure footing with an elegant silhouette that more closely resembles a benchmade dress shoe than anything made for work.
Shop Breakwater LastDainite's rubber-studded soles are as practical today as they were when introduced in 1894. Since then, Dainite continues to make its famously durable soles in Leicestershire, England. Reinforced with Silica and Aluminum silicate, these non-marking soles are highly regarded for all-weather traction and timeless style.
Shop Dainite SoleChromexcel is made using proprietary techniques and formulas developed over 100 years ago in a factory still owned and operated by the Horween family in Chicago. It's characterized by a rich pull-up in full aniline, hand-rubbed finish, superior comfort, and durability. Chromexcel was made famous by its patina—the unique character of each hide which comes to life with wear.
