Back in 2018 we realized that something was missing from our footwear collection - a warm, comfortable, durable, and water resistant winter boot - so after months of development and testing we arrived at the Freeman winter boot. First and foremost the Freeman is incredibly warm - it is fully lined with a curly merino wool shearling - this shearling is light, soft, and extremely warm for it's weight. Next, the Freeman is crafted from superlative Natural pull-up leather - highly water-resistant, durable, and easy to care for. Lastly, the sole unit on this boot is so supportive and grippy it can pull double-duty as a light duty hiker. We combined a leather midsole with a storm welt with a supportive foam midsole wedge and the Vibram Christy Arctic Grip. Vibram's Arctic Grip outsoles provide superior traction on wet ice and snow. You won't find a sole better suited to the elements than this. The Freeman is truly the last winter boot you'll ever need.
