• Designed after Canadian Army officers’ dress boots from WWII, the AMMO BOOT II - Roughout Edition, represents our updated 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.

  

  Constructed using a blucher pattern, flesh-out cowhide, and a full reclaimed rubber sole and heel. The soles and heels are infused with fiber cording, fiber cording. When viewed from the side, the cord ends are visible and create the distinctive speckled pattern associated with Navy and Marine Corps field shoes.

  This ankle boot resembles Viberg’s iconic Service Boot pattern but this configuration is specifically a “Canadian” Spec boot. The quarter panels have a unique shape in that the seam is a straight line on an angle rather than the standard curved version seen on the the N-1 US Field shoes.

  During the war efforts Horween was asked to develop out what become the leather for the iconic N-1 Field Shoe or commonly referred to as a “Boondocker”. This specific article of leather that Horween developed for the war efforts was called “Marine Field Shoe” which is reflective of usage of this leather for the footwear.
