John Lofgren M-43 Service Shoes

First time buying high quality anything after operating on survival mode after moving to a new country and needing new clothes. Bought in the idea of getting something that lasts and made at the highest levels of craft and care after listening to several shoecast episodes and Jeremy smith’s episode on blamo. Was already set to go to Japan for grad school but life had other plans so why not consider boots made in Japan with leather from a Japanese tannery.
