FIELD SHOES, N-1

DESCRIPTION
  • During WWII, the U.S.
  • Navy developed a new and improved line of special and protective clothing, issued in three "N" systems.
  • The N-1 system, designed for cold weather environments, consisted of 21 items.
  • Alongside the N-1 Deck Jacket, the FIELD SHOES, N-1, which became known as 'Boondockers', are some of the most revered.
  • The ‘Boondocker’ name itself originated from WWII military slang used to describe a wild, heavily wooded area, derived from the Tagalog word ‘bundok’.
  • Based on the Field Shoes worn by the Marine Corps, the N-1 shoe was constructed using a blucher pattern, flesh-out cowhide, and a full reclaimed rubber sole and heel.
  • To conserve materials, the soles and heels were infused with fiber cording, thereby extending the supply of rubber and creating a distinctive speckled pattern.
  • This model is distinguished by a custom-produced Pulverized Hemp Cord Added Sole and Steerhide upper for improved durability.
  • The cotton laces are also custom-made and lightly oil-coated, as seen on the vintage pair from our archive.
  • Manufacturers marked the bottom of the sole with a conservation and/or corded label to indicate the use of reclaimed rubber and cording.
  • The 'RAW-CORD' graphics on this boot were hand-painted in our Kobe Headquarters before being cast into a mold.
  • Steerhide, Vegetable Tanned
  • Custom Produced Pulverized Hemp Cord Added Sole
  • Oil Cotton Braid Laces
  • Goodyear Welt
