Protege Trek

  • Full grain, chrome- and formaldehyde-free 100% vegetable-tanned leather
  • 7-eye lace-up leather combat boot with toe cap
  • Lace-up front with back zipper for secure fit
  • Full leather lining and cushioned leather footbed for comfort and support
  • Heavy tread rubber outsole for added durability and grip
  • 1.5 inch heel, 7 inch shaft height
  • Handmade in North America’s shoe capital, León, Mexico

Protege Trek builds on our best-selling Protege by pushing its durability even further. Rooted in classic combat-boot design, it carries the same rugged stance and clean lines, now anchored by a thicker, deeply treaded outsole for added traction and stability. Goodyear welt construction and a tough traction plate reinforce its long-term wear, while the back zipper keeps it practical for daily use. It is a familiar classic, strengthened for harder ground.

Great boot zipper entry makes

"Great boot zipper entry makes it easy to get on and off. Recommended."

— Lawrence S. (5/5)

Best restoration and customer service. . .

"The restoration work on my boots was impeccable. The leather has been revitalized and looks as new as the day I first purchased them. They carefully cleaned and conditioned the leather, removing scuffs and restoring the rich, deep color that I thought had faded. The attention to detail is evident; even the stitching has been meticulously repaired where needed, making them look uniform and polished. The customer service I received from Jessica B. was top-notch. They were responsive to my inquiries and guided me through the entire restoration process. I was kept informed about the status of my boots, and the turnaround time was reasonable, which speaks volumes about their efficiency."

— Michael D. (5/5)

WARNING - Bad Quality -

"Not impressed with the quality of this boot. After 1 year of normal use the sole is detaching. I expected a lot more from a boot at this price…."

— Harrison (1/5)

Bad zippers

I don’t have anything I

Fantastic Boots!

"The amount of complements I get on the Protege and Protege Trek is pretty astounding. The important things to point out are how comfortable these boots are, how well crafted and the support they provide. Knowing they break in easy, I wore a brand new pair to a Las Vegas show this past spring and was averaging 6 to 8 miles of steps for 3 days plus the airport bag drag. I wouldn't even think about doing something like that with boots from another maker. I own some pretty high end boots from some of the competition, made in Italy and Spain but for durability, comfort and style, these are my absolute favorites. I own several pairs of these and my family and friends are big fans. They're absolutely worth the money. Unlike some of the competition, the break-in period is very minimal. The zippers in the back make these a breeze to put on and take off. Awesome arch support. Well soled. I have a normal width foot, I will say if you have exceptionally wide feet to try them on first inside and on carpet if you think you might return them. BedStu is super responsive and stand behind their products. These can be resoled so they're worth the investment."

— Christopher S. (5/5)
