Flying Boots No. 204A

During World War 2 Lewis Leathers Ltd was a government contractor and one of the items we produced was the 204 flying boot. The re-issued version has been made in calf leather which is the same as the vintage boots. Fully lined right to the toes with British shearling.

Our boots are made to the same exacting specifications and patterns of the period in which they were first created.

Our Northampton maker takes great care in maintaining the quality and integrity of our boots, right down to the Goodyear Welted construction and custom-made, period specific buckles. Please bear in mind that, due to our attention to vintage detailing, these boots may not meet present-day PPE safety standards and are not intended to do so.

Today our boots are still hand-made here in Northampton, home of British boot making, the original patterns and cutting knives are still used in the production and construction of the boots ensuring authenticity.

The boots are made in limited batches, when the current stock starts to sell out, we re-order.
