The boots incorporate classic Goodyear welt construction using USA made storm welts, and come anchored with Vibram half soles and heels. The Donkey Puncher name comes from the operators of \"Steam Donkeys,” massive steam-powered machines used by America’s logging industry at the turn of the 20th century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis 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 \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ean oil-tanned lining, both chosen to ensure a durable and comfortable wearing experience. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt on the John Lofgren 120 last (E-width)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEzo Shika Deerskin leather outer and liner\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy single, double, and triple-stitched sewing\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemovable kiltie\/false tongue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e1.75\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\" Woodsman heel\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e8\" shaft\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSA made Vibram 705 half soles and 700 heels\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJapanese steel shanks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCanvas dust bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandcrafted in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLot No. LK-\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003e041\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eThe John Lofgren 120 Last runs large and measures an E width.
