All boots we make are produced by craftsmen who have decades of shoemaking experience and in some cases third generation shoemakers. These boots are hand-lasted using old-world techniques and with the best components sourced across the world. Our upper leather is made with US hides that are 6.5-7oz thick, we use an industry first pre-molded leather insole. Our insole is full grain veg tanned leather, 5 – 5.5 millimeters thick and precisely molded to the bottom of the last. Each insole is individually molded to the exact size and width over a period of 48 hours. The molding process does not compress the insole or change its thickness, but significantly reduces the break in period and increases comfort out of the box. Break-in redefined (TM) Over time, the insole will mold to the foot and the natural imprint will enhance comfort even more while still providing arch support with minimal break in.
Our Leather: Developed exclusively for Drew's Boots, our hides are from the US and tanned and processed in the Leather Capital of the World: Leon, Mexico. The tanning process is similar to Horween Chrome Excel or Seidel Double Shot, as the leather has a great pull up effect, re-tanned and then double stuffed with natural oils and waxes to give this leather a great look and soft feel to the foot without compromising wear and durability. This leather is 2.5-2.8MM in thickness. The color is beautiful and will pair with anything and still tough enough for the job site. We call this leather "Rogue" because it looks brown-ish, red-ish, burgundy-ish and couldn't settle on a true color name!
Guts of the boot: We are using a veg tanned leather toe box (no plastic or celastic), leather heel counter, shank and heel base.
Details: One piece backstay / pull loop, scored midsole to place shank and nails precisely on each pair of boots, we use a high-pressure hydraulic press plus a press pad which is the exact negative of the Vibram 100 outsole to get an extreme bond to reduce squeaking and delamination.
