The Story

Some designs never fade, they evolve and the B5 WWI Replica Boot, created in collaboration with William Lennon, is one such design. More than a boot, it’s a continuation of British heritage.

William Lennon, established in 1899, was one of the original contractors producing boots for British troops during the Great War. Over a century later, we’ve worked together to bring that same pattern back to life using the original cutting knives and wooden 2181 square-toe last found in the William Lennon factory archives. The result is not a reinterpretation, but a faithful continuation of a piece of history.

The B5 is a no-frills, tough-as-nails boot built for hard wear. The uppers are crafted from Waxy Commander leather by Charles F. Stead, a tannery that has been producing some of the world’s finest leathers in Leeds since the 1890s. It’s rugged, richly textured, and develops a deep patina with every wear.

Made with unparalleled craftsmanship and rooted in a rich tradition of bootmaking. Constructed using a brass wire machine, one of the oldest and most durable techniques in the world, these resoleable boots are designed to endure and last a lifetime.

The soles are attached with a 3 BUSM Rapid Standard brass wire screwing machines - of which only four exist in the world. Three of these machines are in their workshop, and the fourth is believed to be in New Zealand. The brass wire, drawn from a giant spool, is threaded through the sole, insole, and leather upper, creating an exceptionally strong, durable bond. This technique, far older than a Goodyear welt, is one of the most reliable methods for sole attachment.

Built to be resoled, these boots will only grow more character and strength with each wear, much like our sneakers. Designed for both uniqueness and longevity, they offer the perfect blend of tradition, craftsmanship, and timeless style.
