The Steel Gang SW (Storm Welt) boot from John Lofgren Bootmaker is a tribute to American railroad crews who laid track through the logging camps of the early 20th century. Designed for durability and long hours on foot, the boot features a five-panel upper built around a 270-degree Goodyear welt with storm welt reinforcement. Crafted on the brand's 120 last, this edition is made using full aniline vegetable-tanned leather from Italy’s Badalassi Carlo tannery. Finished with a stacked woodsman heel and Vibram soles for rugged performance.
