Designed to faithfully replicate standard-issue service boots of the era, the Service Shoe features a streamlined profile built around the original Munson last. Patented in 1912 by U.S. Army doctor Edward Munson, the last was perfected through the study of over two thousand servicemen.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCrafted using Teacore black Horsebutt leather from the Shinki-Hikaku Tannery, the hide is tanned to preserve its natural character, showcasing authentic marks and scarring received throughout the horse's lifespan. The boots' construction incorporates classic Goodyear welt procedures using USA-made storm welts and is anchored with Vibram's 700 soles and 700 heels.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt on the original Munson last\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTeacore Shinki-Hikaku Black Horsebutt leather\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy single, triple, and quadruple-stitched sewing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJapanese steel shanks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmbossed padded leather heel pad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.5\" stacked heel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6\" shaft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSA made Vibram 700 half sole and Vibram 7335 cork heels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCanvas dust bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandcrafted in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLot No. LK-017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eThe John Lofgren Munson Last runs large and measures a standard D width.
