～60s POWRHOUSE work boots 【WEST】
Thank you for visiting JELADO's blog today.
Thank you very much.
What we're introducing today is this!
〜60s POWRHOUSE's
These are boots.
First, what is POWRHOUSE
(Powerhouse)?
It is one of America's 3 major store brands.
Montgomery Ward
(founded in 1872)'s
private brand.
Founded in 1929, it was a popular brand for its workwear line.
The boots we are introducing this time
POWRHOUSE catalog
contained the same information except for the tag,
so we will introduce it with that information.
These boots are
※①Goodyear welt construction
and made of elk leather(deerskin)
work boots
with a mixture of rubber and cork
Neoprene sole and heel

are equipped.
※①What is the Goodyear welt construction…
It is attached to the insole.
to the protruding part called the rib.
The upper, insole, and welt (a thin strip of leather)
are sewn together, and then stitched to the outsole.
method. With this method, the upper and insole are not
directly attached, so
the outsole can be replaced.
The cork sandwiched in the insole
is excellent in cushioning,
so it becomes more comfortable with wear.
It is structured to conform to your feet.
The label attached to the tongue is
〜60s POWRHOUSE label
is attached.
Next is the insole.
The insole has a patent number.
(Information)
(Actual product)
According to the catalog, the patent was filed in 1954,
and registered the following year.
Comparing the insole photo in the catalog
with the actual insole,
the notation was exactly the same.
The condition is very good,
with almost no wear on the sole.
There are scuffs on the toe and some damage on the back of the left foot,
but considering the age, it is in excellent condition as mentioned above.
Since the outsole is large at 31cm,
it is probably a good size for people around 28.5〜29cm.
If you are looking for vintage work boots
and the size fits, I think they are very affordable,
so please come and try them on at the store.
