What Makes a Packer
A packer is the lace-up counterpart to the western pull-on: a rounded U toe, a defined heel that holds a stirrup, and a 9" laced shaft you can cinch down for support. The Lewis is built for the work a ranch actually involves — barn chores, fencing, riding, and long days on foot — rather than for the jobsite alone.
Four Layers of All-Day Comfort
The Ortholite™ insert and EVA insole sit over a Goodyear welt and a leather-and-rubber heel, contouring to your foot to cut down on pressure points and add rebound with every step.
Built to Be Rebuilt
Goodyear welt construction stitches the Aeroglide outsole to the upper rather than bonding it, so a cobbler can resole the Lewis when the tread wears down and you keep the leather you have broken in.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a packer boot different from a roper?
A packer laces up and has a rounder U toe and a sturdier, more supportive build for all-day, all-terrain wear — barn chores, yard work, riding, and general ranch use — where a roper is a pull-on with a tapered or square toe.
What kind of toe does the Lewis DH3706 have?
A soft U toe with no safety cap, which keeps the boot light and comfortable for daily wear. If your jobsite requires an ASTM-rated toe, Double H's steel-toe ropers such as the Dwight (DH3567) carry an I-75/C-75 rating.
Is the Lewis electrical hazard rated?
Yes. It is tested to withstand 18,000 volts at 60Hz for one minute without leakage, giving you EH protection even without a safety toe.
Is there any metal in the boot?
The shank is non-metallic and there is no toe cap, so the boot's structure contains no steel — lighter underfoot.
Can the Lewis be resoled?
Yes. Open heel Goodyear welt construction stitches the outsole to the upper rather than gluing it, so a cobbler can replace the Aeroglide sole when the tread wears down.
How should a lace-up packer fit?
Laces let you set the instep, so size for a snug heel and room for the toes to spread in the U toe. The Ortholite™ insert is removable if you run an orthotic, and the leather softens and molds over the first couple of weeks of wear.
