N1 BOOT 2040 MARINE FIELD SHOE "NATURAL"

Details: 

- The N1 Boot, originally introduced by the U.S. Navy during World War II, features a rugged leather upper and durable rubber soles designed for the demanding conditions faced by military personnel. Its distinctive design gained further recognition when it was worn by characters in the iconic film *The Great Escape*, symbolizing resilience and practicality in challenging environments. Viberg's 2040 last references a vintage 1940s work boot, offering a semi-anatomical fit with a wider forefront for comfort across the ball of the foot, while the waist and heel narrow to secure the foot. Additionally, the slightly elevated toe box creates extra room for your toes while working. For sizing, we recommend going one size smaller than your Brannock size; the 2040 fits similarly in length to our 2030 last. Viberg's N1 Boot was first introduced as a Japan-exclusive model that closely references various WWII designs from vintage archive, featuring Horween Marine Field leather, an unlined upper, nine #2 Chantal Brown eyelets, a natural finish, stitchdown construction, Dr. Sole Cord sole, unstructured toe, and heel stiffener.
