JB-SPO Deluxe Special Order Jefferson Bootees With Hand Sewn Welts This is a deluxe reproduction of the government produced Jefferson Bootee. It has completely hand-sewn welts and features a hand pegged sole leather shank per the original shoe. The Hand Sewn Welt Soles utilize a heavy 9-10 iron (approx. 3/16 inch thick) insole, skillfully channeled to enable the welt, upper and insole to be united with a hand sewn seam. This is probably the best type of construction ever devised and results in a remarkable well made and flexible bootee. By modern standards it is expensive to produce due to the large amount of bench time and hand work. But the final results is truly a deluxe made and great fitting pair of bootees.

High Top Bootees
EN-2 High Top Bootees
A shoe of this design was first popularized by Thomas Jefferson for the military, it may have been first issued to riflemen and cadets in 1816. By 1821, it seems to have been issued to enlisted men of all corps. (Along with low-quartered shoes.) These shoes have sewn soles and uppers of black waxed flesh leather. They are correctly made with a binding reinforcement of the lace holes. These could easily be used for civilian shoes by asking us to cut the quarters two inches shorter.

Mexican War Bootee
