A modern reinterpretation of the M-43 Service Boots worn by the U.S. military during World War II. Designed for versatility, this boot features a lower ankle height and rounded welt, making it well-suited for workwear, streetwear, and vintage styles. For ease of wear, it includes two metal hooks and a gusseted tongue, allowing the laces to be fastened and undone effortlessly. A heel tab with a subtle cut ensures convenient slip-on wear. The hooks and rivets are made of real brass, developed in collaboration with an Italian manufacturer.

The upper features two distinct types of suede. The front suede is wax-coated for a smooth, sealed surface. The rear suede undergoes drum dyeing with a blend of oil and cream, followed by a wax coating. It is then soaked in water and wrung out, yielding a suede that ages with the natural patina of life. The leather outsole is reinforced with a Vibram rubber sole for enhanced durability and versatility.
