Inspired by the traditional alpine hiking boot — now more lightweight, comfortable, and durable than ever. One-piece leather uppers are lined with breathable semi-cordovan, with skin-stitched heels and a gusseted tongue for natural water-resistance. Padded suede lined with natural latex at the ankle provides frictionless support. A leather midsole adds comfort and durability above an L-shaped hand sewn Goodyear welt for easy resoling and improved flexibility. Custom FEITxVibram ultralight outsoles provide the same traction as before without the added weight. Lightweight and long-lasting for hard wear in harsh climates.

The craft, elegance and dexterity of Chinese artisans has been sought after for thousands of years.

At our workshops in southern China, FEIT’s classic footwear is built by hand over the course of 14 days and hundreds of individual steps. All the materials used are natural, and no two pairs are exactly alike.

This is the height of shoemaking and will only get better with age. The vegetable tanned leather retains a neutral and odor free quality in any environment and can be worn barefoot. We encourage you to do so after several initial wears.
