Whether you’re a seasoned hiker or just looking to channel the aesthetic, the Meermin 516690 Boot in Tobacco Waxy Calf will get you out the door looking slick and ready to ramble.
Meermin’s Hiking boot is built on the brand’s ONYX last which was designed specifically for this style to provide comfort and a wider toe box. The silhouette takes the best of vintage hiking boots with its high shaft, mix of metal eyelets and speed hooks, and all leather construction. But this contemporary Hiking number turns things up a notch with Waxy Calf Leather and Goodyear welt construction that allows the boots to be re-crafted if you ever manage to wear down that lugged rubber sole.
Further quality-of-life features can be found in the padded ankle and extended bellows tongue, the latter of which is made from a soft and supple waxed Kudu leather. This layered tongue is designed to adapt to your movements, enhancing both comfort and durability — all while retaining the look and heritage charm of leather. Steel shanks keep things stable, whilst Meermin’s Ultraflex System Construction promotes balance and flexibility. Vintage-style, modern comfort.
Each pair is handmade in China and comes with smooth horsehide lining, vegetable-tanned leather insole, and traditional rope laces.
Available at Meermin for $280
