Introducing Field & Foundry at Merchant 1948

Merchant 1948 is proud to introduce Field & Foundry – a premium heritage boot collection crafted for those who value timeless style, exceptional craftsmanship, and boots built to last.

Inspired by three generations of footwear expertise, the collection is made using traditional Goodyear welt construction – a 150-year-old bootmaking technique that creates durable, resoleable boots designed to be worn for decades, not just seasons.

Each pair features premium full-grain leather, antique brass hardware, genuine rubber outsoles, and heritage-inspired designs that only get better with age. Even better, every pair is registered to its owner and includes $100 towards the first resole within four years of purchase, helping keep your boots on your feet for years to come.

The collection includes a range of classic dress boot styles, including Williams, Thompson, Mercer, Anderson, and Reid, along with a selection of accessories.

Visit Merchant 1948 at Invercargill Central to explore the new Field & Foundry collection and discover footwear that's made to stand the test of time.
