FAQs

Every pair is handmade in Bangkok, Thailand, by master craftsmen who understand that boots aren’t just footwear, they’re tools for living. We cut no corners, using traditional hand-welting and the best full-grain leathers to make boots that last.

We only work with full-grain leather, leather shanks, and natural components built for durability and comfort. No synthetic shortcuts, just honest materials chosen for their strength, longevity, and ability to age beautifully.

None at all. There are no plastic or other synthetic components used in Naang Boots construction.

Treat them like a trusted motorcycle or well-loved knife, clean them after heavy use, condition the leather when it looks thirsty, and store them in a dry place. Respect your boots, and they’ll return the favor for years.

You wear them, a little at a time, increasing the amount daily, as you walk in them the leather will mold to your feet.

Absolutely. Our boots are designed to handle the open road. With tough leather, a storm welt, and a solid shank, they’re built to protect you and stay comfortable whether you’re crossing the city or crossing borders.

Whether you’re on the job site, walking the city streets, or traveling abroad, our boots are made to move with you through every chapter of your life.

Order your true Brannock Size, Our lasts are designed for a natural fit, and are true to size (Check our Size Guide) However, that often means you may size down compared to some modern brands. Our boots are made to fit true to a Brannock device measurement. If you have questions, reach out, we’re happy to help you get the perfect fit.

Build it right. Make it last. Test it in the real world. We design every boot to be lived in, worked in, and trusted — whether you’re on the open road, deep in the wild, or navigating the urban jungle.

Yes, of course you can, but you should ask if you should. I would say, probably not.
