The boot features a Vibram 430 outsole, leather lining, and a removable cushion footbed. It is available in US men's sizes 8 through 12, including half sizes.
Construction
The WM. Moorby 2855 uses Goodyear welt construction, a traditional method where the upper and welt are sewn to the insole and the sole is sewn to the welt. This handcrafted approach creates durable boots where components are attached by stitching rather than gluing. The construction allows for resoling and contributes to the boot's longevity. All production takes place in Canada West Boots' Winnipeg, Manitoba factory.
The outsole is a Vibram 430, which provides traction and durability. The boot features 6-inch unlined quarters and a round toe shape built on a 9367-toe 3E specification last.
Materials
The upper is constructed from premium grade Pan Am Crazy Horse leather, which has a distressed appearance. The boot is fully leather-lined on the interior. A removable cushion footbed provides additional comfort and support. The boot features a lace-up closure with eyelets.
Sizing and fit
The WM Moorby line is available in multiple widths depending on the specific model, with options including E, EE, and EEE widths. The 2855 model is available in 3E (wide) width. Sizing guidance from authorized retailer Gravitypope indicates the boots fit true to size and recommends taking one's normal size.
