The Bowery is a boot model produced by Julian Boots, a Los Angeles-based footwear manufacturer. The boot features Goodyear welted construction and is available in multiple Horween leather options. Handmade in Los Angeles, the Bowery represents one of several heritage-inspired boot styles offered by the company, with model names referencing working-class boot traditions from the industrial era.
The Bowery utilizes Goodyear welted construction, a method that joins the upper to the sole using a stitched welt. Each boot is handmade, lasted, and stitched in Los Angeles by multiple skilled craftspeople. The production process typically requires three to five weeks, with an additional three to five business days for delivery.
The boot's heel construction consists of a leather base with a half-inch Airborne rubber heel. Hardware includes four antique brass eyelets and three antique brass hooks.
The Bowery is available in Horween Chromexcel leather in four color options: Dark Cherry, Black, Vintage Brown, and Olive Green. The standard configuration features a leather sole, though customers can select from several upgradable options including thin rubber sole, nailed sole, and Airborne half rubber sole.
Julian Boots manufactures its products using exclusively American leather and premium raw materials. The company's various models utilize materials including Horween Chromexcel, shell cordovan, French calf, and kangaroo leather.
The Bowery is available in full and half sizes ranging from size six through 13. Base pricing for the leather sole version begins at $875.00 USD, with prices extending to $900 depending on the selected sole type.
Each pair is handcrafted to individual specifications, with made-to-measure options available to ensure optimal fit and durability.
Julian Boots was established in 2005 by Julian Imrie, who was born in the 1970s at St. Mary's Hospital in Paddington, London. Imrie studied at the School of Visual Arts in New York City before transitioning to construction work and employment at horse ranches. He first began making boots while living on a farm in Kentucky.
After bicycling to Brazil following the onset of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, Imrie committed to bootmaking and established his Los Angeles-based operation. The company has designed boots for upscale retailers and boutiques across North America, Europe, and Japan.
The company's boot model names reference heritage and working-class boot history, including Boondocker, Bowery, Engineer, and Cornish Miner.
