SBC01

The SBC01 is defined as a 6-8 inch cap toe lace-up boot featuring a two-piece backstay and a distinctive heel counter that overlaps the quarter stitch bottom. This design distinguishes it from Onderhoud's SVC series service boots, which feature plain toe construction. The cap toe detail adds formality while maintaining the rugged work boot aesthetic characteristic of Onderhoud's offerings.

The model is available across Onderhoud's three primary lasts: Buteo, Buteo X, and Vulture, each offering distinct sizing and fit characteristics to accommodate different foot shapes.

The SBC01 incorporates Onderhoud's signature hand-welted construction methods. Every boot is hand-lasted, hand-welted, and features hand-stitched midsole and welt attachments. A distinctive characteristic of Onderhoud's work is the deliberately angled stitching running through the midsole—each stitch positioned slightly diagonal to emphasize the handmade nature of the construction.

Onderhoud offers the SBC01 in multiple construction methods including flat welt, single row, and Veldtschoen (a hand-welted variant similar to double-row stitchdown). These construction options allow customers to balance aesthetic preferences with performance characteristics.

As with all Onderhoud models, the SBC01 is available in a range of premium leathers from both domestic Indonesian sources and renowned international tanneries. Common leather options include vegetable-tanned horsebutt from Maryam Tannery in Italy, natural Chromexcel from Horween Leather Company, and Wickett & Craig harness leather. Customers can specify leather or rubber sole options based on their intended use.

Material selection reflects Onderhoud's evolution from exclusively using local Indonesian tanneries to incorporating premium international suppliers, ensuring consistent quality while maintaining accessible pricing.

Due to Onderhoud's limited production capacity and high international demand, the SBC01 is available through a specialized ordering system. The brand does not maintain a traditional website, requiring customers to contact founder Rizky Afnan directly through Instagram (@onderhoud.handmade).

Onderhoud accepts orders periodically, managing allocation through either a lottery system or first-come-first-served announcements when materials become available. Given the 2-3 pair weekly production across all models, customers typically face a 4-6 month waitlist from order to delivery.

Pricing for Onderhoud boots ranges from approximately $240 to $750 depending on leather selection, construction method, and specifications. This pricing positions the brand competitively within the handmade boot market, particularly given the extensive hand labor involved in each pair.

The SBC01 exists within Onderhoud's systematic model numbering scheme. The "SBC" designation likely indicates "Service Boot Cap," distinguishing it from the SVC (Service) series which features plain toe designs. Other related models include the SVC01 boondocker-style plain toe service boot, SVC02 packer boot, and SVC03 cap toe service boot. The SBC01's two-piece backstay and overlapping heel counter differentiate it from these related service boot variants.
