Since 2022, the brand has been slowly acquiring bear hides as they naturally passed away in the wild, ensuring ethical and respectful sourcing. The hide, coming from the brown bear that inhabits Japan's northernmost island, is distinctly pebbled with a tough surface and pliable texture. Given the material's wild origins, every boot is unique with subtle textural variation throughout. The leather is built into John Lofgren's Monkey Boot, a silhouette inspired by vintage American lace-to-toe line worker and roofer boots. Finished with contrast gold stitching, brass eyelets and a full Vibram 700 cork outsole.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHokkaido Ezo bearskin uppers\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJapanese horsehide lining\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJapanese made steel shanks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6\" shaft height\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.375\" stacked heel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVibram 700 cork sole with Vibram 7335 cork heel (USA made)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandcrafted in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLot No. LK-013\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eThe John Lofgren LK-013 runs large and measures an E width.
