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\u003eThe original supplier to the U.S. Army during WWII, the boots feature Horween Tannery’s Natural Chromexcel leather, flipped to showcase its roughout side. Over time, the leather develops a rich patina that reflects the wearer’s use, softening and darkening with age. Each pair is built using Goodyear welt construction and finished with USA-made storm welts, mil-spec eyelets, and Vibram 700 soles.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt on the original Munson last\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorween Chromexcel roughout leather uppers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy single, triple, and quadruple-stitched construction\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 700 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.

Recognizing the superior quality of vintage-inspired modern productions compared to many originals, John transitioned into crafting his own line. His designs draw inspiration from timeless classics, refined with contemporary fits and constructed from the finest materials under ethical conditions. All John Lofgren products are exclusively manufactured in Japan.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"John Lofgren","offers":[{"title":"7.5","offer_id":40452227399738,"sku":"LK-017","price":945.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"8","offer_id":40452227432506,"sku":"LK-017","price":945.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8.5","offer_id":40452227465274,"sku":"LK-017","price":945.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9","offer_id":40452227498042,"sku":"LK-017","price":945.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"9.5","offer_id":40452227530810,"sku":"LK-017","price":945.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"10","offer_id":40452227563578,"sku":"LK-017","price":945.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"10.5","offer_id":40452227596346,"sku":"LK-017","price":945.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11","offer_id":40452227629114,"sku":"LK-017","price":945.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"11.5","offer_id":40452227661882,"sku":"LK-017","price":945.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12","offer_id":40452227694650,"sku":"LK-017","price":945.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/5485\/files\/2025_05_Product_JohnLofgren_M-43ServiceShoeBootinHorweenChromexcelNaturalRoughout_876.jpg?v=1747781194","url":"https:\/\/www.blueowl.mom\/products\/m43-service-shoe-boot-in-horween-chromexcel-natural-roughout","provider":"Blue Owl Workshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
