ARTIFACT 01 | ENGINEER

01.10

Artifact 01.10 | ½” veg tan leather welt coming from Barbour Welting in Massachusetts, our vendor for many decades. Artifact 01.11 | Black Klondike Leather is expertly tanned at S.B. Foot Tanning Company in Red Wing, Minnesota. The pull-up leather is smooth finished with a bright luster. As the leather ages, the brown tones are revealed from beneath the black finish, creating a unique patina. Developed by Dave Hill, Aki Iwasaki, and Mike Larson in 2010. Artifact 01.12 | The leather midsole is welted and attached to a neoprene outsole made with the same cord structure as it has been for the past century. Artifact 01.13 | This is a rubber heel made by Vibram ® . A plastic heel stack, resembling leather, is attached to the heel to create the iconic Engineer heel height. During shoemaking, the heel is scoured with a concave grinding wheel to create the traditional Engineer heel cut. Artifact 01.14 | Durable, USA-made nickel hardware carefully selected to withstand decades of buckling along the upper of the boot. Mike Larson and Aki Iwasaki worked to recreate the original stamped steel buckles that our original Engineer boots used back in the day. Artifact 01.15 | The #2966 contains a replica of the original tags used in its predecessors over the past century.
