Coombs is known as a pioneering brand that was the first in the world to commercialize the traditional moccasin shoe-making method used by Native Americans.\u003cbr\u003eThey used extremely thick elk leather and cowhide, sometimes up to 5mm thick, and every step, from cutting to hammering and sewing, was completed by skilled artisans by hand.\u003cbr\u003eCommitted to traditional manufacturing methods, their quality was so robust and honest that there's even an anecdote that they once soaked the leather in \"bear oil\" to enhance its water resistance.\u003cbr\u003eThe brand itself sadly closed its doors in 2014. (At the time, it was the oldest continuously operating shoe store in the United States.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e[Size (cm)\/\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/store-maiden.com\/pages\/size-chart\"\u003eSIZE GUIDE\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eUK8 \u003cspan\u003eCorresponding size 26.0\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUK9 \u003cspan\u003eCorresponding size 27.0\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-teams=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e[Material]\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLEATHER\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e[Country of Origin]\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMADE IN\u003cspan\u003e USA\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e[Our Product Number]\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003em36b847620123\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product__description rte\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e*As this item is also sold in stores, it may already be sold out when your order is placed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e*Please note that outer boxes may be damaged during transit from domestic and international shipping.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e*Please understand that since we also handle products sold in physical stores, there may be scuffs on the soles from trying them on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e*Please note that the color of the actual product may differ slightly from the images shown, depending on the lighting conditions during shooting and the device you are using.
