• Designed after Canadian Army officers’ dress boots from WWII, the Ammunition Boot represents our take on the ideal military footwear. We’ve selected each element of the boot to reflect both authentic manufacturing from the 1930s and 40s, as well as the toughest materials available from that era.

  Representative of these materials is the Horween Work Shoe Horse Butt. This extraordinarily tough leather is functionally similar to modern Chromexel, but its “recipe,” is taken instead from the Horween archives, for complete accuracy to the period. Used during WWII for paratrooper boots, we selected this leather because we felt it appropriate that our officers’ boots should be able to survive being dropped out of an airplane.

   We rely on Viberg for their photographic memory of vintage boots. They did not disappoint—noting the slightly flattened toebox of archive boots, they selected a modified Munson last for this project, giving the Ammunition boot a unique silhouette even among Viberg’s diverse range. This eye for detail, combined with their excellence in production, is the reason that Viberg is so renowned as a bootmaker.

   Canadian Army officers in WWII needed their footwear to look good on parade and perform in the field. That’s why the RidgeWay soles of our Ammuntion Boot are rugged and refined; the boot can be worn with a suit and tie, but can be relied on to stand up to the countryside.
