Steel Gang Boots Horween Black Teacore Horsehide

Available exclusively through the JLB website, this special release is crafted from Horween’s SHF (Single Horse Front) smooth black teacore leather. This exceptional leather will age with striking character, gradually revealing warm brown undertones beneath the black surface for a patina unique to every wearer.

John Lofgren Bootmaker Steel Gang Boots takes their name from the crews responsible for building and maintaining railroads in the logging industry from the 1900s to the 1950s. The boots are built for hard work, long days, and serious protection. Heavily constructed and Goodyear welted for long-term durability and resoling, they feature a timeless early 20th-century design that never goes out of style. As with all JLB footwear, comfort is never sacrificed. Each pair is meticulously crafted in Japan by master artisans dedicated to quality and tradition.
