About Østmo Boots
Østmo Boots came to be in 2015, when 1986-born Norwegian Lars Jensen woke up one day with a wish to brush the dust off of Norwegian and Scandinavian footwear heritage. Although Lars himself is completely self-taught, the Østmo name is carried over from his paternal great-grandfather, Karl Johan Østmo, which was the shoemaker and cobbler in Lars’ home village Åsa in Ringerike, Norway during the early-to-mid 1900s. In fact, it was due to the discovery of Karl Johan’s old tools, lasts and half-finished projects while digging through a shed that Lars decided to try his own hand at the bootmaking craft.
Through Østmo, Lars has revived several boot, shoe designs that were last seen in production during the 1960s, with unique twists that pair well with contemporary aesthetics. Most notable is the Type I pattern, with its unique feature colloquially known as the “ankle swoopty”, which stands out among the crowd of other derby boot patterns.
About Østmo X Iron Boots
The Iron Boots X Østmo collaboration comes as a result of Lars’ wish to make his creations more widely available than what a single craftsperson can provide, while adhering to an unyielding level of material quality, craftsmanship and attention to detail.

Damn CSaw you went for my exact makeup with the sole and cap toe. Minus the lords speedhooks, of course.

[@CsawBoots]

@@chadg033 Luckily, Iron Boots has solid speed hooks. I definitely appreciate a good speed hook. But have been in an all eyelet kick lately.

[@chalkboardshoes]

Beautiful boots -- one question: are these made of hatched shell cordovan or some other kind of hatched leather?

[@CsawBoots]

@@chalkboardshoes It’s definitely not shell, I wish! 😂
Here’s the best description I could find:
Horween Pioneer Reindeer, also referred to as Hatch Grain in the marketplace, is a combination tanned leather with a full vegetable re-tan; well nourished with a rich proprietary blended oil emulsion.
