Chippewa® Logger Boots
Chippewa Loggers are the foundation of the company. They began building their durable, rugged logging boots a century ago, and this basic logger has evolved into several product lines. While each current boot style has its own unique features, you can get an idea of how Chippewa Loggers are constructed with the diagram.
The main differences between the Super Logger (pictured) and the standard logger styles are the T-Bar cushion collar, the waterproofing and Thinsulate option.

Uppers:
- Chippewa upper leather has high oil content that helps repel water and the elements.

Soles:
- Vibram Yellow Plug Soles - Vibram soles have conquered Mt. Everest and become a legend throughout the world.

The Vibram brand is recognized worldwide as the leader in high performance soling products for outdoor, dress casual and service footwear.

Construction:
- Goodyear Welted Construction adds to boot durability, allowing multiple sole replacements, extending the life of the footwear. This process is Chippewa.s strength and forte. Not only does this construction allow you to repair and resole your boots, lateral support is second to none. Leather welts are very difficult to twist and this lateral support is especially important on uneven terrain.
- The steel shank is a piece of steel that is about 1. wide and about 4. long that is placed in the boot during the bottoming process. It runs from heel to toe and is place in the boot starting at the heel and goes towards the toe. Boots with steel shanks are more rugged and durable than boots with fiberglass or plastic shanks. It also protects the arch of the foot.
- Kush-n-Kollar comfort reduces strain on foot and lower calf. This collar was created to offer the wearer a no break-in time on a 9. boot. It tends to release pressure build up on the Achilles tendon after a long day of work or sport. This pressure can relate to leg and back fatigue.
- ANSI tested and certified steel toes to protect feet.
- Texon Insole - Wicks moisture away from the foot to keep as dry as possible. The insole is also anti-microbial preventing bacteria growth in boots.
- Body Cushion Orthopedic Insole - Biomechanically engineered for maximum comfort and protection. Anti-microbial and machine washable.
