Our Federal Issue Contract Brogans are historically styled Civil War shoes designed for Civil War  impressions, living history, historical interpretation, and reenactment. Based on the appearance and construction of original Federal contract brogans, these reproduction shoes combine a period-correct look with the comfort and durability needed for extended wear in the field.

 

The brogans feature a waxed flesh leather upper, closed-channel sewn sole, and heels secured with square-cut nails. Heel plates are included at no additional charge. The result is a sturdy pair of Civil War shoes that looks at home with a Federal soldier's uniform while also providing a practical choice for reenactors, museums, historical sites, and other living-history settings.

 

These Federal Issue Brogans are available in men's full sizes 7 through 14. They are offered in full sizes only; if your size is temporarily out of stock, typical delivery time is approximately 6–8 weeks.

 

Whether you're building your first Union impression or replacing a well-worn pair of Civil War brogans, these shoes are made to be worn, marched in, and enjoyed for years.

 

 


Sizing

  • Full sizes only (no half sizes available)

  • If your size is out of stock, please allow 6-8 weeks for delivery (typical lead time). Our website does allow you to order sizes that aren't in stock, so your order being accepted does not mean the size ordered is in stock.


Simple. Correct. Ready to wear.

    Took awhile for my boots to get here but it was not the fault of the store owner. They fit well and are comfortable to March in, it was well worth the wait and the owner is very communicative I will be sure to buy more items in the future from here.

    I usually wear 10.5 so I ordered up to 11. These are roomy but fit as they should. Quality is excellent. I wore these for Memorial Day ceremonies and found them to be quite comfortable. This is a good investment and worth the money. As always, great communication from Chris and shipped quickly. Thank you.

    Sure wish I had bought these first instead of the ones from sutler row. Half the weight, 3 times as comfortable and all for not much more money.

    Comfortable (as much as brogans can be)

    These are lighter than most brogans I've seen at mainstream sutlers. Only time will tell what that means for longevity, but they seem well constructed, and the thinner leather is more supple, meaning more comfortable. I haven't fully broken them in yet, but I can already tell they will be a vast improvement over my last pair. As other reviews note, they do run a bit large. I ended up with a size and a half down from my normal shoe size before then fit.

    I needed some brogans to help fulfill a National Park Service order and these were absolutely perfect! The workmanship, materials, and pattern of the brogans are absolute quality and very impressive!

    Communication was fantastic. Ordered what I thought was my size, or them in 3 days before the event. They were too big. Emailed SUM and got an instant reply telling me to ship them back and they would send me a size smaller. I expressed my disappointment that I wouldn’t have them for the event. I get a phone call back the next day asking my permission to send my brogans with another customer to the event I was going to. So I had them for the event! These are super comfortable right away. This is my 3rd pair of brogans in 28 years, and I couldn’t be happier with them!
