Contractor - Rowdy Smooth

The last: Drew's took the 55 shoe last used in the PNW boot industry for decades and made it better. With boots on the ground and listening to their customers for years, they knew there was a better way. The natural progression of people have been getting bigger and wider feet - so they added about an 0,3 cm to the outside of the last to allow more room in the toe box and eliminate that "pinkie rub.(D+ width) Also Drew's raised the instep slightly to allow an easier foot entry into the boot. With the fit alterations to the last and the pre-molded insole, these boots will be the best and easiest break-in of the industry. 

Pre-molded insole: Each insole is individually molded to the exact size and width over a period of 48 hours. The molding process does not compress the insole or change its thickness, but significantly reduces the break in period and increases comfort out of the box.  Over time, the insole will mold to the foot and the natural imprint will enhance comfort even more while still providing arch support with minimal break in.

Sizing: These are not true to size. Please size down one size from regular size. Is slightly larger than Red Wing, Wesco, Wolverine etc. So if you are f.ex. an US10 in these, you could go for a 9.5 in Drew’s

Guts of the boot: Veg tanned leather toe box (no plastic or elastic), leather heel counter, shank and heel base. 

Details: One piece backstay / pull loop, scored midsole to place shank and nails precisely on each pair of boots, Drew´s use a high-pressure hydraulic press plus a press pad which is the exact negative of the Vibram 430 outsole to get an extreme bond to reduce squeaking and delamination. 

The contractor series has the same upper design and pattern as the Drew's Loggers but in shorter heights and built with Vibram 430 Mini Lug soles for more versatility on the job site, hitting the town with your spouse or for style without dragging in the mud!
