LIFETIME WARRANTY

All of our American-made boots backed by a lifetime manufacturer’s warranty covering defects in materials or craftsmanship for the life of the product. This includes issues like faulty stitching, hardware failure, or construction flaws — but it does not cover damage caused by neglect, misuse, or normal wear and tear. Resoling is not covered, as outsole wear is expected over time and part of regular boot ownership. Like a vehicle, these boots require routine care — including regular cleaning and oiling — to keep the leather strong and healthy. Leather that cracks, dries out, or breaks down due to lack of care is not considered a manufacturing defect and is not covered under this warranty. If you believe your boots qualify for a warranty claim, please contact us.

- Yes. The natural leather construction and breathable design make them suitable for a wide range of temperatures and environments.


Are these boots suitable for everyday wear?

- Absolutely. While built rugged enough for demanding environments, these boots are designed to be comfortable for daily use.


How should I care for the leather on these boots?

- Occasional cleaning and treating with quality boot wax will help maintain the leather’s durability and appearance.

- Our boots are designed with a wide natural shape that allows your toes to spread comfortably while still providing a secure fit through the midfoot and heel.
