Zero Drop has come to the PNW! The Strider is our first-ever boot built on a true Zero Drop last. The Thurman-ZD last provides an anatomical foot shape with the more tactile feel of the zero drop allowing for more stability on the ground. Available with our new sole offerings: Vibram Honey Unit Lug, Voyageur Outsole, and the Kletterlift Outsole. Each of these work perfectly with the zero drop last providing slip resistance, traction, and comfort throughout the day.

Spokane is a new Horween leather that seamlessly blends traditional formulas with modern technology to create a material that is both durable and aesthetically appealing. Spokane takes the base tannage of the ChromePak article and introduces a modern vegetable re-tannage, enhancing its comfort and ability to age beautifully. Following the re-tannage, the leather is hot-stuffed with a proprietary blend of oils and waxes, resulting in a rich, supple feel and deep, vibrant color. As a full-grain, aniline leather, Spokane is incredibly tough, ensuring footwear made from it will not only withstand the test of time but also look better with every passing year.
