Bay Apache is the name of a Chippewa® 5 to 5.5 oz leather that has a high level of wax and oil applied during the tanning process. Bay Apache is a light brown or tan color leather.
Goodyear Leather Welt construction makes for a long lasting boot. Leather welts expand and contract with changing temperatures and this natural flex decreases welt splitting and breaking. Plus, this construction style is easier to resole because the welt (which holds the sole on) is stitched to the insole.
Although the welts have this natural flex, lateral support is second to none. Leather welts are very difficult to twist, and lateral support is especially important on uneven terrain or general work conditions where there is a lot of foot motion.
The midsole is like building the foundation of a house. A solid foundation provides proper foot support and starts with a 4 iron rubber midsole which allows a solid adhesion to the outsole. The signature look for a Chippewa® welted boot is the robus midsole. This construction increases rigidity and reduces extreme flexibility in new boots. The boot creates a flex point and breaks in to your foot within a few days of being worn. Boots with robus midsoles demand to be worked, not babied.
The original Vibram® sole, the 132 Yellow Plug was created for use on outdoor footwear. Lugs are angled to provide substantial edging capabilities on both ascent and descent. The center medallion of carrarmato lugs provide maximum traction.
The exclusive Vibram® compound guarantees maximum traction on wet/dry surfaces and various terrain.This compound maintains its physical properties in extreme temperatures. All compounds are developed and chosen by considering the sole design and end use of the intended footwear.

Best boots I've ever owned! 2012-10-19

I work in the maritime industry. Specifically, diving, salvage and unmanned undersea vehicle operations. I bought a pair of Chippewa 6" lace ups over a year ago. Best boots I've ever owned, period! Felt like I'd worn them for years… right out of the box. No break in necessary.
Anyone who has worked on the ocean knows that the salt water and physical abuse foot wear are subjected to reduce even the "toughest" advertised boots to ruins in a matter of months. These boots are over a year old and still going strong. I now use them when riding my HD 48. Perfect boot for the road. Great support, warm and dry. Worth every penny!
