Using the same materials and components as normal-sized 877s, our record-setting size 638½ boot took 80 leather hides, 245 cubic feet of urethane, 1,200 feet of nylon rope and 80 lbs. of brass to make. The boot is 16 feet tall, 20 feet long and weighs 2,300 lbs.

Developed in the 1950s, our No. 23 last gives the 10877 its classic Moc Toe look. The leather is pulled over this foot-shaped form by hand before a thin leather welt stitches upper and midsole together. Then it’s on to the final touches and inspection.
