John Lofgren Bootmaker Combat Boots are based on the U.S. Army Type II combat boot. While faithfully reproducing such distinctive details as the unique toe caps and decorative broguing, our Combat Boots are also updated to meet the needs of contemporary life. We know the Quartermaster Board would’ve approved. Like all our footwear, the uppers are beautifully executed by a master Japanese craftsman that has been sewing our uppers from the very beginning. And of course, all our footwear is completely built in Japan.
