- The John Lofgren Bootmaker Military Desert Boots are inspired by WWII-era chukka boots issued to British and South African forces stationed in Cairo, Egypt. An enduring style known for its comfort and sleek profile, John Lofgren's interpretation pairs the classic design with the brand's robust, highly engineered construction. Handcrafted in Japan, the boots feature an encompassing 360° stitchdown construction, flexible Japanese-made crepe soles, and heavyweight Japanese suede leather. The suede has a soft, velvet-like texture and is paired with a breathable leather lining.
