1971 Venetian

In 1971, David Merrill started the Merrill family on the path to crafting some of the highest quality footwear in the world. The 1971 Collection is a reflection of the Merrill family's heritage in shoemaking. Each pair in the 1971 collection is unlined and cut from heavyweight Chromepak, a leather that was ubiquitous in Maine moccasin making in the 1960's. This 10-15oz. leather is unparalleled in durability as it is remarkably thick and rugged while the high oil content helps it retain some pliability while adding exceptional pull-up. The Vibram 232 Mini-lug soles lend a traditional look that complements the heavy chromepak leather with added versatility and durability.
