Waffle Shoe Print Leather Belt

A piece of running history, translated into leather. The Waffle Shoe Print Belt is handcrafted from natural vegetable-tanned leather and laser-etched with the legendary waffle sole pattern that became inseparable from the story of Steve Prefontaine and the era that changed running forever.

The print gives the belt a subtle layer of meaning and texture, making it distinctive without feeling overly decorative. As the natural leather is worn, it will deepen in color, soften, and develop a patina unique to its owner.

Part functional leather belt, part tribute to running culture, it’s a meaningful piece for runners, track and field fans, collectors, and anyone drawn to the legacy of Pre.

Simple in form and rich in history, this is the kind of piece that tells more of its story the longer it’s worn.

Exceptional materials. Uncompromising quality.

At Will Leather Goods, our commitment to exceptional craftsmanship begins with the leather itself. With over 40 years of experience, we've learned that the quality of the hide and the way it's treated make all the difference in how a product looks, feels, and ages.

Full-Grain Leather — The Highest Standard

Full-grain leather is widely regarded as the finest grade of leather available. It preserves the hide's natural outer surface, where the fibers are strongest and most densely woven. Unlike lower grades that are sanded or heavily corrected, full-grain leather retains its natural strength, distinctive grain, and authentic character. The result is exceptionally durable leather that softens, develops a beautiful patina, and becomes more distinctive with age.

Vegetable-Tanned Leather — A Time-Honored Tradition

Vegetable tanning is a centuries-old process that uses natural tannins derived from tree bark and other plant materials to transform raw hides into beautiful, durable leather. This traditional, time-intensive method produces leather celebrated for its rich character, natural feel, and ability to develop a distinctive patina over years of use.

The WILL Difference

We believe extraordinary leather shouldn't simply look beautiful when it's new. It should grow more meaningful with every passing year. That's why we value authentic materials and traditional craftsmanship, creating leather goods intended to be carried for decades and handed down for generations.

Good leather ages. Exceptional leather tells a story.
