The legendary Gurkhas, revered amongst the bravest warriors in history, have inspired generations with their courage, resilience, and determination. Known for their fearless role in battles across the toughest terrains, they were equipped with footwear as enduring as their spirit—boots designed to withstand the harshest conditions and the most demanding circumstances.
In honor of their legacy, the Gurkha Series by Craft and Glory brings you a modern interpretation of the iconic boots worn by these legendary warriors. Made using Goodyear Welt Construction, the Gurkha Combat Boot provides exceptional durability and comfort. Made from 100% full-grain buffalo leather, the combat boot features a sturdy 6-inch shaft similar to the boots worn by these warriors during the conflicts waged in the 1940s.
For those who seek versatility and agility, the 6-inch Gurkha Combat Boot delivers the same rugged performance in a shorter, lighter profile. Its durable construction and unrelenting grip make it ideal for urban exploration and casual treks, offering comfort and mobility without compromising support and stability.
Key features include a veg-tan midsole for enhanced durability and a gusseted tongue for water and dust protection. Every pair takes over 15 hours to craft—embodying true craftsmanship.
