John Lofgren is widely considered the gold standard of heritage footwear, and these Combat Boots in Dark Olive CXL are the pinnacle of that reputation. THE DETAILSLeather: Horween Dark Olive Chromexcel (Chicago, USA).

Construction: Masterfully crafted in Japan with a 360-degree Goodyear storm welt for maximum weather resistance. Hardware: Custom-made brass eyelets and speed hooks. Sole: Genuine Vibram 705 half-sole and 700 heel—built for grip and longevity. Last: These are built on the original JL Combat Boot last, known for its incredible arch support and anatomical fit. CONDITION & FITSize: 8.5E (Note: John Lofgren typically runs large; these usually fit best 0.5 to 1 full size down from your Brannock/sneaker size). Condition: Like New, Worn 3 times. Included: original box, bags, or extra laces are included]. WHY JOHN LOFGREN?Lofgren’s commitment to ethical manufacturing and \"over-built\" quality is unmatched. These aren\'t just boots; they are a lifetime investment that will only look better as the Olive CXL develops its unique patina. I wear a 9.5 in bannock, so this would fit you good if you are a 9.
