Danville

The Danville employs 270-degree Veldtschoen storm welt construction, a specialized technique where the upper leather is turned outward and stitched to create enhanced water resistance. This construction method differs from standard Goodyear welting and provides additional durability at the junction between upper and sole.

Manufactured in Indonesia by handcraft specialists, the boot features vegetable-tanned leather insoles, steel shanks for arch support, and cork filling for cushioning and moisture absorption. The construction allows for resoling capability when the original sole shows significant wear.

Built on Caswell's Morris Last, the Danville features a traditional moc-toe design with raised seam detail characteristic of handsewn footwear construction. The boot incorporates antique brass hardware including eyelets and speed hooks, providing both functional durability and aesthetic detail.

The design includes reinforced stitching at stress points and structured heel counters for stability. The moc-toe silhouette offers increased toe box volume compared to standard service boot designs, accommodating wider forefoot dimensions.

The Danville is available in four distinct leather selections, each at specific price points. Black Italian Horse TPR leather and Muschio Italian Horse TPR leather are offered at $649.99 per pair, representing Caswell Boot Company's premium leather tier.

Horween Navy Chamois leather and North American Olive Teton Stag leather are available at $599.99 per pair. The Olive Teton Stag leather is specifically noted as sourced from North American deer hides, providing unique texture and appearance characteristics.

All leather options undergo specialized tanning processes to achieve their respective finishes and performance characteristics. The Italian horse leathers feature a smooth finish, while the stag leather displays natural grain patterns.

The Danville runs significantly long in sizing, with Caswell Boot Company recommending customers order 0.5 size smaller than their Brannock measurement for optimal fit. The Morris Last features generous toe box dimensions characteristic of moc-toe construction.

All Danville boots are produced as Made to Order items with an 11 to 13-week lead time from order placement to delivery. As custom-made products, the boots are not eligible for returns or exchanges, requiring careful size selection before ordering.

Free shipping applies to United States orders, with international shipping available at additional cost. The extended production timeline reflects the handcrafted nature of the construction process and made-to-order business model.

The Danville maintains consistent availability through Caswell Boot Company's Made to Order production system, avoiding traditional inventory constraints. Each pair is constructed after order placement, allowing for quality control throughout the manufacturing process.

Customer service includes detailed sizing consultation to minimize fit issues given the no-return policy on custom orders. The company provides measurement guidance and last-specific fitting information to assist with size selection.
