The El Capitan boot from John Lofgren Bootmaker takes its name from the massive granite wall in Yosemite National Park, and while its slim profile and unstructured toe lend it a bit of class, it is a piece of footwear designed with traversing the elements in mind. It sports a storm welt and a medium-lug Vibram 430 sole, and is constructed from 4 panels of black Chromexcel leather from Horween with triple-needle stitching at the points of highest strain. These are boots that will take a beating again and again, and remain a monument in your wardrobe for generations.
