All-Around, Multi-Season Use
Choose the Johnny Combat S2 Leather for durable full-grain construction and supportive daily wear. Go with the Taculus Waterproof for a lighter, more athletic feel and lower 4mm stance. Both deliver waterproof protection for changing conditions.
Rugged Outdoor Use
Choose the Range Trainer XD Waterproof for a lighter, athletic boot reinforced with abrasion-resistant nylon and leather overlays. Step up to the Wartorn Waterproof when rugged terrain calls for leather construction, added ankle protection and a rock plate underfoot.
Do You Need Insulation?
Waterproof footwear keeps external moisture out, but insulation determines how much warmth it retains. For rain, mud and moderate temperatures, choose a non-insulated waterproof boot. For prolonged exposure to cold and wet conditions, choose the Johnny Combat Winter with 600g Thinsulate®.
