About

The Hunter Boot is a women's tall boot manufactured by Miles & Louie, a Mexican footwear maker founded in 2012 in Tijuana. The boot features Goodyear welt construction with a military-inspired design, reinforced cap-toe detailing, and a tractor sole designed for all-terrain capability. Priced at $3,600 MXN (approximately $180-200 USD), the Hunter Boot represents the upper end of Miles & Louie's product range and is positioned as an accessible option in the heritage footwear market.

Construction and materials

The Hunter Boot is built using Goodyear welt construction, which allows the boot to be resoled and repaired throughout its lifetime. The boot features a quality leather upper and leather lining, with each piece individually handcrafted by Miles & Louie's workshop in Leon, Guanajuato—Mexico's shoe capital, where the company relocated its manufacturing operations to access trained craftspeople and quality materials.

The boot includes a reinforced cap-toe design and a cushioned leather insole for comfort and protection. The tractor heel and sole provide grip and durability across varied conditions. Due to the handmade manufacturing process, details and colors may vary between individual pieces.

Specifications

The Hunter Boot is available in black leather and offered in 13 size options, ranging from 2MX/5US through 8MX/11US. As a made-to-order product, each boot requires four weeks for production and shipping. The design draws from classic military boot styling while emphasizing longevity and timeless aesthetics.

Manufacturing context

Miles & Louie was founded in 2012 by brothers Octavio and Carlos, who began as a two-person operation researching shoemaking through online resources and vintage books. The company initially produced four to five pairs of shoes monthly but has since grown to employ approximately two dozen people in its workshop. The company's focus on Goodyear welt construction stems from its durability benefits, described by the company as enabling shoes to be "restored, resoled and re-worn again and again."

Miles & Louie offers customization services, allowing customers to specify colors, finishes, and design details. The company ships internationally, with customers across the United States, Canada, France, Germany, Australia, and Singapore.

Market position

The Hunter Boot is priced at the upper end of Miles & Louie's shoe range, which typically spans from $100 to $250 USD. Independent footwear publication Shoegazing describes Miles & Louie as producing "casual Goodyear welted shoes" that are "not super refined, but should be decent," with pricing beginning at approximately €100 for models using domestic leathers and roughly 50 percent higher when featuring American Horween leather. The publication positions Miles & Louie among more affordable entries in its under-€300 quality shoe guide, noting the brand emphasizes casual styling over formal dress shoes.
