The Garrison boot is our rendition of the classic service boot. Developing out of WWI's trench warfare, the service boot's history has been one of defense. Named after the military fortification and the guards charged with its protection, the Garrison boot conjures up imagery of security, safety, and refuge. Moreover, the name itself ultimately derives from the Germanic word meaning 'to ward off.' The Garrison boot is just that – stable, unyielding protection for your feet.

Featuring a perforated cap toe and backstay that hugs the heel counter, the Garrison boot is our first all-eyelet boot. Further drawing on its military history, we paired the Garrison boot with a lug outsole to offer more robust traction. Combining these elements produces a stylish yet utilitarian boot.

This Garrison Boot is made with dark welts and accents that offer the Forest Kudu leather the contrast it needs to highlight the green hues. Kudu leather has a distinctive character from the natural scars and blemishes unique to the African antelope. The soft, malleable leather will transform with wear, creating a comfortable boot that is one of a kind.
