AIPI 2.2 Handmade Leather Boots โ WWII-Inspired Combat Style (Black)
๐ช๐บ Handmade in Europe ๐ Made to Order
AIPI 2.2 leather boots are unisex, handmade boots built using traditional stitched construction and thick full-grain leather. The design is inspired by WWII-era American combat boots, adapted for long-term everyday wear rather than historical reproduction.
Each pair is made in Estonia using 2 mm thick natural leather and a stitched sole construction intended for durability, stability, and repairability over time. The interior is fully leather-lined, allowing the boots to remain breathable in warmer conditions while working well with thicker socks during colder months.
Materials & Construction
The midsole is made from EVA and stitched directly to the upper, providing structure and shock absorption without relying on adhesives. A triple-stitched rubber outsole completes the construction, supporting long-term use and resoling when needed.
- 2 mm thick full-grain leather upper
- Natural leather lining
- Stitched EVA midsole
- Triple-stitched rubber outsole
Origin & Craftsmanship
Made in Estonia by AIPI, a small shoemaking studio based in Tallinn with decades of experience producing durable footwear for civilian and professional use.
Production is carried out in small batches, focusing on stitched construction and material longevity rather than volume manufacturing.
Made to Order
This product is made to order. Each pair is produced after purchase rather than held in stock. This approach supports careful workmanship, reduced overproduction, and consistent build quality.
