Haddock Jack Boots

The oldest testimonies of boots were found on murals in the Spanish cave of Altamira. They are dated from 13,000 to 15,000 BC. Boots protect the foot and calves from cold and injuries. They were and still are indispensable for activities in the area or in bad weather. Primeval hunters, knights, adventurers or pirates they all wear boots- for a good reason!

The shape of jackboots, like these Haddock boots, developed from the commonly used riding boots. The long cuffs, which were supposed to protect the legs while riding, were folded down and became a common fashion trend. The  Haddock jackboots are made of soft vegan suitable synthetic leather. This makes them insensitive to moisture and almost rain-proof. The sole is sewn in so you won't have to worry about soaked shoes or wet feet. Beneath the cuff there is a strap that can be used to close the boot around the calf, and another at the ankle.

Another nice detail are the small brass buckles that visually fit our "Henry " series. We have designed the underside of the cuffs in such a way that it can also be worn folded up high, whichincreases the warmth and protective effect. The light lining made of high-quality foam keeps the feet warm even on wet nights.

While imitation leather boots are more weather resistant than ungreased leather boots and do not so quickly soak in the rain, please note that Haddocks are costuming quality boots and are not designed for long use in combat conditions.
