The Wabash Engineer boot is based off careful examination of several pairs of vintage engineer boots from John Lofgren's personal collection. Carefully refined over many iterations, these boots epitomize the brand's definition of the "Made in Japan" standard: painstaking attention to detail coupled with master craftsmanship.. The result is a top-of-the-line engineer boots with the finest construction, stitching, and materials. This murdered out pair is built from horsebutt leather from the famed Shinki tannery.
