The Want | Fracap Japan Mountaineering Boot

The Want | Fracap Japan Mountaineering Boot

Introducing Fracap, a small company specializing in fine footwear made by hand in a small Italian factory and only available to the Japanese market. One of their most popular shoes is the Mountaineering boot, and this variation happens to be one of our favorites. It’s made of heavy duty brown leather that’s made from grainy leather and padded inside for extra comfort. The soles are extra thick and stitched, while the boots lace with contrasting scarlet laces through 5 d-rings and two hooks.
