Description

The EasyMoc x Division Road CF Stead Winter Smoke Waxed Kudu and Martexin Sage Waxed Duck Canvas Rangeley Double Bottom Boot is a fully functional hiking and hunting boot exclusively designed in collaboration with founder Greg Cordeiro. Made to serve in daily duty for the style-savvy looking to represent workshop craft, this boot highlights Maine’s finest traditions of hand-lasted, hand-sewn, true moccasin production. This Division Road make-up has an upper and double sole made with Winter Smoke Waxed Kudu produced by the storied C.F. Stead, known for making some of the finest leathers in the world. This leather is an aniline-dyed combination re-tannage using hand-selected wild African Kudu antelope hides that are remarkably flexible, strong, and have distinct grain characteristics. The hides are enhanced with a subtle wax application that yields a matte finish with pull-up qualities and an added layer of protection. For a two-tone, mixed material configuration that speaks into evolving true moccasin construction with modern design elements, we sourced a "tough as duck" military-grade 14.7 oz. Martexin Original #10 Duck Canvas for the integrated quarter and tongue panels. The Rangeley is inspired and designed for the Maine outdoors with these waterproof materials, a double sole with a full leather lined triple vamp upper, a high quarter with a split eyestay for flexibility, a backstay with an integrated pull loop for full function, and is coordinated with antique brass eyelets. Underscoring the functionality and elements that reflect the handmade craft, this boot is completed with a natural heavy gauge waxed hand-sewn moccasin toe, heel, and overcast stitching for a make-up refined for city styling and well-equipped to explore the woods. This EasyMoc is hand-lasted on an adapted vintage moccasin boot form for an accommodating fit that allows the hand-sewn leather construction to mold to the foot. This boot is assembled for a lifetime of utility using considered elements, including an Ortholite® Comfort Hybrid Recycled Footbed for a modern interior and a Blake welted insole to a black vegetable-tanned leather midsole for full re-craftability. For proportional balance and a stable surface, the Rangeley Boot DB is completed with a natural outsole stitched midsole atop a Vibram 2062 Olympic sole ideal for hiking, camping, and trekking in a workman-made moccasin that styles up to your best heritage or modern ensembles.
