Buco Narrow Engineer Boots - Buttock

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 1950s-era Buco engineer boot, featuring a goodyear flat welt construction, a standard boot heel, and a narrow toe with 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. Unlike some other leathers, these hides are fully struck-through with dye, and will remain black over time, not scuffing or fading to brown like a tea core leather would. The trims are stellar too, with reproduction Cat's Paw heels and sleek, comfortable leather soles that were common for the era. The inside features a Buco stamp for branding over a woven tag, and the front and shaft close up with solid brass roller buckles. 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 tonal black midsole stain.  These fit true to size - take the same size as your Brannock for the best fit.
