The South 40 is a Double Vamp with a Molded Sole construction, commonly referred to as Triple Vamp, which is the most water resistant and durable construction we offer. This version made from Pecos Gaucho leather also boasts a fully leather-lined upper and quick lacing studs. Pecos is a chamois leather, meaning the grain surface has been knapped to a velvety finish that repels water and handles abrasion from rocks and brush extremely well. It is for this reason we use it in our extreme hunting boots.
To make long days in the field a joy, we built in a poron technical foam layer between the molded sole and the vamps. This shock absorbing layer softens up the walk considerably, a feature you will enjoy at the end of a long day. The South 40 also has an oak-leather heel counter, which locks your foot in place to help prevent against rolling an ankle. Underfoot, we fitted the South 40 with a low profile Vibram 360 Force sole that provides better balance, stability and ground feel.
