Dr. Footers uses exclusive upper leather from the top grades of the finest selected tanneries. Rich aniline horse leather (front, hide, double culatta) and genuine shell cordovan.
The tanning process takes a full six months to complete and produces leather, using the ancient recipes of pure vegetable tannage and hand finishing. The leather obtained is soft, supple, and very durable.
Dr. Footers boots take on a unique character when made from vegetable tanned horse leather. They are hand dyed for a deep aniline finish, then stained and polished to the unique Dr. Footers patina.
