The Officer Shoes is a military-inspired derby shoe model manufactured by Sagara, an Indonesian Master Bootmaker based in Bandung, West Java. The shoe features traditional handwelted construction methods that preserve heritage shoemaking techniques dating from the 19th century.
Sagara produces the Officer Shoes as part of their commitment to maintaining traditional handwelted construction, emphasizing craftsmanship over industrial mass production. The model represents the company's dedication to preserving the shoemaking craft through time-tested construction methods that require extensive hand labor and attention to detail.
The Officer Shoes utilizes Sagara's signature handwelted Goodyear construction method, a heritage technique that the company has preserved since its founding in 2010. All construction work is completed by hand, as Sagara maintains their vision to preserve traditional shoemaking craft despite industrialization and modernization affecting the broader footwear industry.
The handwelted construction process involves hand-lasting the leather upper to the shoe last, followed by hand-welting the sole attachment. This traditional method requires more time and skill compared to machine-welted alternatives, with each pair requiring careful attention throughout the manufacturing process.
Sagara constructs the Officer Shoes using high-quality leather materials, ensuring quality while supporting traditional leather working techniques.
Available leather options include various grades and finishes, with the company offering different colors including burgundy, black, and natural overdyed variations. The selection reflects Sagara's commitment to providing customers with traditional materials while maintaining the authentic character of heritage footwear construction.
The Officer Shoes falls within Sagara's general pricing structure, which ranges from approximately Rp 4,000,000 to Rp 5,500,000 IDR per pair. The pricing reflects the extensive handwork required for the traditional construction methods employed in manufacturing.
Orders for the Officer Shoes follow Sagara's standard Made to Order process, following the company's established ordering procedures for handmade footwear.
Sagara provides comprehensive after-sales services for the Officer Shoes, including leather spa treatments, recoloring services, repairs, and resoling. These services support the long-term maintenance of the handwelted construction, allowing owners to preserve their footwear investment over extended periods.
The company also offers sizing guidance and boot care advice to help customers properly maintain their Officer Shoes. This support reflects Sagara's commitment to customer education regarding proper care of traditionally constructed footwear.
