Airborne Boot - Natural Horse Strip

The timeless Airborne boot is a rugged yet refined take on the jumper boots worn by American paratroopers diving feet first into Europe. Our contemporary design features the classic brogue cap toe and a well-proportioned swooping heel cap built on a hand-welted vegetable-tanned foundation. In homage to this heritage, the Airborne Boot exclusively uses American-tanned uppers. Made with Natural Horween Horse Strip, also known as "North of Cordovan," using leather derived from butts used in Shell Cordovan production. After the first stage of tanning, the shells and strips are separated: the resulting strip can handle much more wear and tear than calfskin, all while developing a rich patina.  Paired with our studded rubber sole, perfect for maintaining a clean profile while having excellent durability, grip, and comfort.   THE DETAILS: Hand Welted Construction Lasted by Hand Horse Strip from Horween Tannery (USA) Built on the Parker Last Veg Tan Lining, Heel Stack, Welt, Insole, and Cou
