Design

Black Heron Boots builds upon what we love about heritage Pacific Northwest boot construction with a refined profile tailored for a more urban environment. If White's and Viberg had a baby, it would be our boot. 

Colorways

Our boot model names refer to the unique materials, style, and colorway for that particular model, including boot height, leather type, and toe style (plain toe or toe cap), as well as its hardware, lining, and thread color.

Many of our models are limited editions and may not return in that configuration again.

Patterns

Our patterns are inspired by Military Issue/Boondocker field boots, refined by adding modern design considerations. We refined our patterns through many iterations across many built prototypes. Special thanks to Marcell Mrsan for grading our patterns and helping further refine our designs.  

Leather

We use leather from renowned decades-old American tanneries, such as the Horween Leather Company in Chicago, Seidel Tanning in Milwaukee, and Wickett & Craig in Pennsylvania. We will occasionally offer limited editions in specialty leathers from international tanneries such as C.F. Stead in the UK, Shinki Hikaku in Japan, and Maryam in Italy.
