John Lofgren USN Low Quarter Shoes - Russet French CalfskinThe John Lofgren Bootmaker USN Low Quarter shoes are yet another great example of Lofgrens ability to take an authentic vintage pattern, reimagine it in a more robust and slightly built up construction and deliver it in a very comfortable and wearable everyday pair of handsome footwear. The original 140 last is very shapely, has a standard generous mid foot, nice slim waist with a a fairly wide ball and toe without it being bulbous. Although wide it

100% cotton

the heel well balanced against the whole boot and is elegantly shaped

(Any different colour images are for illustration of the details)

They are a mid to heavier weight cordura and cotton blend (thicker athletic sock weight) with extra terry material in the arch for extra support

The leather and construction make them feel like a stripped back

The last is an exaggerated Munson style military last which fits fairly standard through the heel and mid foot but widens out at the ball and then tapers again at the toe

(The "model" shots are in the Grey colour to illustrate the fit only)

It is a fairly simple

They are made on the very shapely 2040 last which is very comfortable for many a foot shape

Once this leather shapes to you it is going to feel great and bullet proof

The cotton blend material from Japan is the perfect weight for the warmer months

It is generous enough for ease of movement and comfort without looking or feeling big
