The fit and last are unchanged, but the sizing has just been shifted up by 0.5 size, to align more consistently with the rest of the Lofgren catalog. Put simply, what was previously called a size 9.5 is now called a size 10.

The basic specifications for this boot were very simple. Composition sole, welted construction, natural combination-tanned rough-out cowhide, all built up on the Munson last with an unstructured toe. The goal was to have a cost-effective, durable shoe for all forms of combat conditions. Multiple variants popped up across the armed forces, including version for the Marines and the Navy, all with the same basic template.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChromexcel cowhide an extremely sturdy and handsome leather that only gets better and better with time. These are made from full grain natural CXL roughout - the reverse (or \"suede\") side of the usual CXL cowhide. Like the smooth finish, the roughout is an extremely dynamic leather that's been finished without any sort of dye applied. The light tan roughout patinas quickly and dramatically, wearing down in some areas, and taking on color from light, moisture, and whatever you may end up walking through. Individual panels across the boots may begin as different hues of brown or tan, and will settle into a more uniform color with time and wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs far as leather goes, it's thick and sturdy, starting out noticeably stiff and requiring a few weeks of good wear to really break-in.

Developed at the end of the 19th century, the Steam Donkey was a steam-powered hauling machine utilized by the logging industry for the transport of felled trees - this was one of the first pieces of mechanized equipment ever employed by the logging industry, serving as a replacement for oxen and horses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe men who rode and operated these mobile boilers were called \"Donkey Punchers\" and would have favored thick leather boots with a tall logger heel and full lace-to-toe configuration, just like these. John Lofgren's Donkey Puncher Boots are a faithful reimagining of a vintage style 6\" logger boot, built from the highest quality materials in one of Japan's very best boot factories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey're built around John Lofgren's 120 Last, a high-volume E-width last that's further complimented by the lace-to-toe configuration of the boots, making it extremely accommodating to a wide variety of different feet. The toe is rounded, with an almost symmetrical profile from the top that will comfortably house your toes without looking bulky or bulbous - continuing back, we find an average instep and nice round heel cup that cradles your foot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverything is held together with multiple rows of heavyweight high-SPI (stitch-per-inch) sewing that alternates between one tonal thread and one contrasting thread. They stand on one of our favorite combos, the made-in-USA Vibram 705 half sole + 700 heel combo, a stellar pairing with excellent durability and comfort, as well as a sleek low profile. The hardware is heavy duty solid brass, with a combination of 6 eyelets and 3 military grade speed hooks, and a removable kilte can be threaded through the bottom lace for enhanced durability and protection from small debris.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe uppers are made from Badalassi's famous Cognac Minerva leather, a full grain, vegetable-tanned cowhide from one of Italy's premier tanneries. The Lofgren team only purchases and accepts the highest quality hides offered by Badalassi, inspecting each one to make sure it meets their rigid criteria. Beyond the striking initial color, the veg-tanned leather will continue to darken and take on new texture with age and wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe leather features an aniline finish, and patinas quickly with exposure to sunlight, water, oils, and day to day life. The break-in is similarly quick, taking the shape of your foot with ease and molding into the most comfortable fit.

The all brass hardware and woven internal lacing are just icing on the cake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey're made from an exceptionally high quality horsebutt leather from Japan's own Shinki Tannery, one of the premier horsehide tanneries in the world. Being a tea core leather, the dark brown dye at applied to the hides does not fully penetrate the surface of the hides, leaving the flesh underneath undyed - over time, the surface dye will wear and scuff off, revealing the brown core beneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditionally, this remarkable leather features a glossy finish and a gorgeous grain texture that ranges from subtle to incredibly prominent.

We suggest still sizing these like most other Lofgren boots, and taking 0.5 size smaller than your brannock size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt on the John Lofgren 120 Last\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack shell cordovan leather from Shinki Tannery in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExclusive John Lofgren last\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTonal brass hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7 eyelets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerforated cap toe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlat waxed cotton laces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in USA Vibram 700 sole + 700 heel combination\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeather midsole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack edge stain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e360 degree storm welt construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully resoleable and rebuildable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTake 0.5 size smaller than Brannock size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimited run\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"John Lofgren","offers":[{"title":"6","offer_id":45520485843117,"sku":"210000070508","price":1650.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"6.5","offer_id":45520485875885,"sku":"210000070509","price":1650.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"7","offer_id":45520485908653,"sku":"210000070510","price":1650.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"7.5","offer_id":45520485941421,"sku":"210000070511","price":1650.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8","offer_id":45520485974189,"sku":"210000070512","price":1650.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8.5","offer_id":45520486006957,"sku":"210000070513","price":1650.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9","offer_id":45520486039725,"sku":"210000070514","price":1650.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"9.5","offer_id":45520486072493,"sku":"210000070515","price":1650.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"10","offer_id":45520486105261,"sku":"210000070516","price":1650.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"10.5","offer_id":45520486138029,"sku":"210000070517","price":1650.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11","offer_id":45520486170797,"sku":"210000070518","price":1650.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11.5","offer_id":45520486203565,"sku":"210000070519","price":1650.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12","offer_id":45520486236333,"sku":"210000070520","price":1650.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0352\/5633\/files\/JohnLofgren-CombatBoots-BlackOpsShinkiShellCordovan-Flats-10.jpg?v=1767989583"},{"product_id":"donkey-puncher-boots-natural-cxl-2","title":"Donkey Puncher Boots - Natural CXL","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe name \"Donkey Puncher\" comes from a niche bit of history pertaining to the intersection of logging, footwear, and heavy machinery. Developed at the end of the 19th century, the Steam Donkey was a steam-powered hauling machine utilized by the logging industry for the transport of felled trees - this was one of the first pieces of mechanized equipment ever employed by the logging industry, serving as a replacement for oxen and horses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe men who rode and operated these mobile boilers were called \"Donkey Punchers\" and would have favored thick leather boots with a tall logger heel and full lace-to-toe configuration, just like these. John Lofgren's Donkey Puncher Boots are a faithful reimagining of a vintage style 6\" logger boot, built from the highest quality materials in one of Japan's very best boot factories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey're built around John Lofgren's 120 Last, a high-volume E-width last that's further complimented by the lace-to-toe configuration of the boots, making it extremely accommodating to a wide variety of different feet. The toe is rounded, with an almost symmetrical profile from the top that will comfortably house your toes without looking bulky or bulbous - continuing back, we find an average instep and nice round heel cup that cradles your foot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverything is held together with multiple rows of heavyweight high-SPI (stitch-per-inch) sewing that alternates between one tonal thread and one contrasting thread. They stand on one of our favorite combos, the made-in-USA Vibram 705 half sole + 700 heel combo, a stellar pairing with excellent durability and comfort, as well as a sleek low profile. The hardware is heavy duty solid brass, with a combination of 6 eyelets and 3 military grade speed hooks, and a removable kilte can be threaded through the bottom lace for enhanced durability and protection from small debris.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChromexcel cowhide an iconic and handsome leather that only gets better and better with time. Natural CXL is an extremely dynamic and (in our opinion underrated) leather - finished without any sort of dye applied, the leather starts out a light tan color and darkens over time, gaining a patina from light, moisture, and whatever else you may be walking through. Individual panels across the boots may begin as different hues of brown or tan, and will settle into a more uniform color with time and wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs far as leather goes, it's thick and sturdy, starting out noticeably stiff and requiring a few weeks of good wear to really break-in. After that, the leather begins to relax considerably, moulding to take the shape of the wearer's foot and softening at flex points to move more easily. To finish everything off, the inside is fully lined with a soft horsehide leather, that will cradle your foot after breaking in, keeping you comfortable all day long.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe goodyear welt construction can be rebuilt by any trusted cobbler once the sole wears down, giving potentially lifetimes of wear with proper care and maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThese size differently to pairs of Lofgren Donkey Puncher Boots produced before 2023.
