The Westfield Boot is handcrafted in Lewiston, Maine USA using our Blake Welt Stitch Construction. Westfield boot mixes the classic lines of our best selling Byron Boot with unexpected leather and resilient ripple sole. The result is a truly American Heritage inspired boot. The uppers are finished in C.F Stead Black textured leather giving each pair an unique look. We lasted the uppers on our proprietary 115 last, the same last we use for our dress shoes. Each pair is fully lined. The bottoms are finished with Vibram Ripple soles. The story goes that Ripple soles were patented in 1955 to reduce injuries experienced by Paratroopers when landing. Today, they add a very distinctive look as well as extremely comfortable.
