These are proper, heavy-duty boots that don't mess around. Made in the USA from unlined black leather, they have that stiff, authentic feel straight out of the box that softens beautifully once you've broken them in. The oiled finish gives them a matte look that shrugs off light rain and scuffs, developing a unique character the more you wear them. The silhouette is defined by the chunky, cream-coloured Cristy wedge sole, which is slip- and oil-resistant. It gives you a solid, cushioned stance on concrete pavements or workshop floors. Stitchdown construction means the upper is flared out and stitched directly to the midsole, making these incredibly stable and durable down the line. Finished with seven metal eyelets, distinctive yellow-and-red rope laces, and the subtle Danner logo embossed on the heel, they look spot-on with heavy selvedge denim or fatigue pants. Just make sure to treat them with a good leather conditioner now and then to keep the leather supple.
