• At the pinnacle of the John Lofgren lineup, the Wabash Boots are a meticulous reproduction of vintage engineer boots. Defined by a calf-length shaft and woodsman heel, the boots pay homage to a variety of workwear silhouettes through a range of details handpicked from John Lofgren's vintage archive.
  
  This iteration is made from Japanese Ezo Shika deerskin leather. Native to Japan’s northern Hokkaido region, Ezo Shika deer are the largest of the Shika subspecies and endure harsh, snowy climates. Historically used by the indigenous Ainu people and even in samurai armor, this leather remains prized for its strength and resilience. The Ezo Shika are wild deer and the leather comes un-corrected, proudly displaying the hide's natural scarring and imperfections. Each pair uses two layers of deerskin: a wax-finished outer shell and an oil-tanned lining, both chosen to ensure a durable and comfortable wearing experience.
