Garrison Boot Black Waxed Deer
Free Exchange on Domestic Orders
The Garrison boot is our rendition of the classic service boot. Developing out of WWI's trench warfare, the service boot's history has been one of defense. Named after the military fortification and the guards charged with its protection, the Garrison boot conjures up imagery of security, safety, and refuge. Moreover, the name itself ultimately derives from the Germanic word meaning 'to ward off.' The Garrison boot is just that – stable, unyielding protection for your feet.
Featuring a perforated cap toe and backstay that hugs the heel counter, the Garrison boot is our first all-eyelet boot. Further drawing on its military history, we paired the Garrison boot with a lug outsole to offer more robust traction. Combining these elements produces a stylish yet utilitarian boot.
Gallun's Teton Waxy Stag tannage utilizes white-tailed deer local to the Great Lake States. Culled annually during the fall hunting season, the hides do not go to waste.
Gallun's proprietary light metal "Alum" or "Aluminum" Teton tannage is the base for this leather, after which it is retanned, introducing color, wax, and oils to dye, lubricate, and fill the typically soft and spongy fibers associated with deer. The retanning fills those voids and makes full, robust leather. The tannery finishes the leather, transforming it into Teton Waxy Stag, lightly buffing the top grain before rolling an emulsified wax on the remaining grain. While the leather's grain has been buffed lightly to reduce the visibility of scars, scratches, tick bites, and bullet holes, the hides still exhibit elements of the deer's life.

Garrison Boot Black Waxed Deer
Made with
Goodyear-welt Construction
Renowned for its durability and ability to be resoled repeatedly, Goodyear-welt construction involves stitching a welt—a strip of leather—around the shoe's perimeter, creating a cavity. After filling the cavity with the shank and cork, the sole is attached, providing strength and water resistance. This construction method results in shoes that are not only long-lasting but also easily repairable, making them a timeless investment in quality craftsmanship.
Our Leo Last
Derived from our experience fitting and developing various orthopedic-shaped lasts designed for specific foot shapes, the Leo features a moderate arch, heel control, medial support, and forefront freedom. It embodies a traditional welted shoe shape while prioritizing all-day support and comfort.
Our mission
