There were times when boots were crafted by a single man, but it was years ago and it did not actually withstand the test of time, given factories proved more efficient even though the quality dwindled. And that’s partially why Hand Sewn Hiker Wool boots are so exquisite. Built from scratch by a single master craftsmen, this hiking footwear’s upper is made of a single piece of Italian vegetable tanned leather and lined with shearling so warm and soft that the maker recommends you to wear these shoes on bare feet. The upper part is stitched to a leather strip (called a welt) and then stitched to the sole without using glue. Hiking stability is assured by a durable and flexible Vibram Gumlite outsole. This painstakingly hand-sewn shoes are priced at $621.
