Modeled after the working-class boots of the 50’s, the ORIGINAL is a timeless classic. This boot features our signature red stitching and waxed Portuguese leather. This water-resistant leather is as handsome as it is functional, revealing a stunning patina over time.

Urban Shepherd Boots are handcrafted at a small, family-owned workshop in Benedita, Portugal where boots have been made for five generations. Only the highest quality materials are used in making Urban Shepherd Boots. We use only natural leather and high-quality components. We never use engineered or reconstituted leather. All of our leather is sourced locally in nearby Alcanena, Portugal, where many of our tanneries have been producing leather using traditional methods for over 100 years.

*This boot runs true to European sizing. We suggest using a Brannock chart to convert to US sizing or contact us at info@urbanshepherdboots.com with any questions.

*Special orders are handcrafted-to-order at our workshop in Portugal. Since this is a customized process, please allow an estimated 6 week wait time to receive your order.
