Austin Packer Lace-Up

In the mid 1800’s the Packer boot overtook the Wellington as the favored footwear for the farmers and pioneers of the time.  As time went by the need for the angled heel influenced the design and the angled cuban heel was born.  Many of the early pioneers who wore this type of boot lived in the Rocky Mountains and worked with pack horses. When they were going out to work with their horses, they would don their “packer” boots.  And thus originated the name.

Today, the name remains the same but Heritage has handed this style a glorious twist of fate.  Soft black Italian calfskin accented by corded red piping and variegated stitching grants the packer a head turning update. Something only Heritage has the courage to do.  Happy Trails to you!
