Drawing inspiration from Roy Chapman Andrews—the legendary adventurer, naturalist, and real-life muse for Indiana Jones—the John Lofgren Chapman Boots embody the spirit of exploration and discovery. These aren’t costume pieces; they are expedition-ready footwear, designed to move seamlessly from city streets to uncharted trails, all while paying tribute to ethical craftsmanship and timeless style.

But what does adventuring mean? For some, it’s walking the streets with purpose; for others, it’s hiking a trail or even trekking through the forest. Maybe you’ll just wear them to work while channeling the spirit of an explorer. Whichever way you live it, the Chapman Boots let you write your own adventure, combining durability, comfort, and heritage design.

The uppers are built from world-renowned Horween Chromexcel leather, prized for its rich pull-up character, deep chocolate tone, and unmatched durability. Paired with a USA-made Vibram 1136 Roccia lug sole and heel, the boots provide traction and longevity under demanding conditions. Inside, an embossed padded leather heel pad ensures comfort for long days of wear.

Constructed with traditional Goodyear welt construction and USA-made flat welts, the Chapman Boots are built to last and easily resoled, extending their lifespan for decades. Reinforced with Japanese steel shanks and a combination of heavy single, double, and triple stitching, they offer both stability and resilience in the harshest environments.

Sitting on a balanced 1" heel with a 5.5" shaft, the profile delivers rugged functionality without sacrificing refinement. As with all John Lofgren Bootmaker footwear, each pair is carefully handcrafted in Japan, ensuring uncompromising quality from start to finish.

Packaged with a Japanese-made John Lofgren Bootmaker box and dust bags, the Chapman Boots are more than footwear—they are an heirloom piece for those who live with a sense of adventure and demand the very best from their boots.

Fit Notes: John Lofgren Combat Boots are available in a single E width. The last runs large, so we recommend sizing down one full size from your standard US sneaker size or Brannock measurement. If you have wide feet, consider sizing down only half a size. The fit is similar to Viberg Service Boots (e.g., Lofgren Combat Boots size US9 = Viberg 9).
