The Real McCoy's also offer a handful of outstandingly-reproduced boots and shoes, faithfully replicating the originals with the highest-quality custom materials in the world. This pair of engineer boots is based on a pre-WWII Buco riding boot, featuring a goodyear flat welt construction, a classic logger heel, and a vertical crease down the front vamp (historically-accurate crimping marks from the construction methods of the time). They're made from a custom Shinki horsehide that McCoy's developed themselves based on careful study of their vintage archives. This is a fully vegetable-tanned horse butt leather, which is selected for the highest consistency and best quality throughout both before and after tanning, then dyed with a pigment finish. This pigment finish only alters the surface color of the leather, reproducing the tea-core effect of vintage horse leathers perfectly. The trims are stellar too, with reproduction Cat's Paw outsoles and heels that provide an excellent blend of comfort, traction, and visual sleekness. The inside features a custom woven Buco tag, and the buckles at the front and shaft are made from a nickel-plated brass. These are produced exactly like the originals, featuring a 270 degree Goodyear welt construction that can be rebuilt (when needed) by any trusted cobbler. This old world construction method extends far beyond just the welt stitching, with a full cork midsole, internal copper shank, and a dark brown midsole stain. These fit true to size - take the same size as your Brannock for the best fit.
