420 Brogue Cap Toe

The model represents John Doe Shoes' approach to accessible made-to-order footwear, combining Goodyear welt construction with premium leathers sourced from established tanneries including Horween, Ilcea, Tannerie D'Annonay, Haas, Charles F. Stead, and S.B. Foot.

The 420 employs Goodyear welt construction, a traditional method that bonds the upper leather, welt, and sole using lockstitch and rapid stitching techniques. This construction provides durability, water resistance at the seam junction, and enables resoling throughout the boot's service life.

The model features cork and leather midsole construction. Sole options include studded rubber from suppliers such as Vibram, Dainite, Itshide, and Lactae Hevea, as well as leather soles from J. Rendenbach.

The 420 is offered in multiple leather types sourced from premium tanneries. Available configurations include Horween Essex leather in natural color, which provides vegetable-tanned characteristics with a smooth grain surface that darkens and develops color depth over time.

The company sources leathers from Horween Leather Company, Ilcea, Tannerie D'Annonay, Haas, Charles F. Stead, and S.B. Foot, providing customers access to materials from well-established tanneries. Specific leather options vary based on availability and the made-to-order production model.

The 420 Brogue Cap Toe is available at a base price of $210 for size 12 configurations with standard specifications. The model is produced through John Doe Shoes' made-to-order system at their family-owned workshop in Mexico.

Orders ship via UPS Standard within four to five business days of production completion. The company provides free shipping to the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The boot runs true to size according to manufacturer specifications.
