Inspired by the U.S. Army Type II combat boot, John Lofgren Bootmaker's Combat Boots pay homage to the distinctive details of the original, including unique toe caps and decorative broguing. However, Lofgren has modernized these boots to meet the demands of contemporary life. His unwavering commitment to quality is evident in the uppers, meticulously crafted by a master Japanese artisan who has been sewing them since the brand's inception. They seamlessly blend a comfortable fit with refined toughness, making them a versatile choice for various purposes and uniform styles. Like all John Lofgren footwear, these Combat Boots are proudly built in Japan, ensuring excellence in every step.
These exquisite boots exude sophistication, showcasing a dark olive version of the iconic Chromexcel leather from Horween. Crafted on the engineer last, they boast a shapely design with a slim waist and a rounded toe, ensuring a snug fit throughout the foot. This results in a boot that not only exudes style but also provides ample toe wiggle room. Slipping your foot into these boots is an immediate pleasure, offering a glove-like feel. The leather, both thick and supple, contributes to instant comfort, while the well-balanced heel imparts a solid and sure-footed sensation reminiscent of a reliable work boot.
If you're in search of a durable, comfortable, and versatile boot capable of withstanding decades of wear while effortlessly complementing a variety of outfits, look no further—this is the perfect pair for you.
John Lofgren Combat Boots are available in a single E width. This last runs large and we recommend sizing down one full size from your standard US sneaker size or Brannock measurement. If you have wide feet, consider going down half a size. They fit similar to Viberg service boots (Lofgren Combat boots size US9 = Viberg 9).
John Lofgren Bootmaker, founded by California native John Lofgren in Japan, seamlessly blends vintage-inspired designs with contemporary fits and superior materials. The brand's commitment to craftsmanship and the dedication of its Japanese artisans to mastering their craft set it apart in an industry often driven by profit.
