Between the world wars, timber cruisers asked Otto White for a lighter, less cumbersome alternative to their rugged loggers. He reimagined the work-boot upper and created the 6-inch 350—a staple for outdoorsmen in the Pacific Northwest and beyond since the 1930s.
With Mansway’s Made to Order, choose premium leather, sole, heel height, stitching, and hardware—then White’s craftsmen hand-build your pair to your exact specs.
In the 1940s, on battlefields and airfields across the world, a particular kind of boot became a trusted companion to soldiers and airmen. Built from durable roughout leather with a clean plain toe and a stance that meant business, these boots carried people through some of the most challenging times in history.
Decades later, Mansway and Wesco Boots have come together to faithfully revive this vintage military classic—blending wartime grit with modern-day comfort and craftsmanship.
Modern Wesco Build Quality — handcrafted in the Pacific Northwest to outlast decades of wear.
Optional Vintage-Inspired Sole — period-correct profile with upgraded durability for today’s streets and trails.
This isn’t just a boot. It’s a living tribute to the rugged elegance of the 1940s service era—rebuilt for the modern adventurer. Whether you’re walking city streets or open countryside, you’re carrying a piece of history with every step.
