Brake House 3450 engineer boots draw on 1930s workwear and 1950s motorcycle culture. Built from full-grain vegetable-tanned tea-core cowhide on Goodyear welt construction with an Italian VIBRAM® Tygum 705 outsole.

A sharp, narrow toe gives the 3450 a clean profile. Pairs well with tapered or straight-leg denim.

      → If you wear 10D, choose size 10.

      2. Half sizes (e.g. 8.5, 9.5)

      If your usual size is not available, we recommend sizing up.

    Timeless Construction. Repairable. Reliable. Reasonably Priced.

    Our boots use Goodyear welt construction, known for its strength, water resistance, and easy resoling. This method lets you replace the sole without damaging the upper, making the boots truly long-lasting. Made to be worn hard, repaired easily, and kept for years — all at a price that stays fair.

    Tea-Core Leather Made to Evolve

    Dark on the surface, natural core underneath. With wear, warm tones emerge, creating depth and contrast over time. Built strong for the ride, refined for everyday wear, and made to last.

      Excellent value for money

      Reasonable delivery time for a handmade item. The leather is nice and thick and high quality. The stitching is well done, no flaws. The shape is very similar to a pair of J. Lofgren shoes. I wear a size 41 and I ordered a 41. They fit well. I can't wait to wear them in properly to see the leather develop its natural patina.

      After a few twists and turns, the boots finally arrived. The workmanship is flawless, and there's no left and right asymmetry. I bought a size 41, which fits my 10 inch foot perfectly. Recommended for friends looking to get started with engineer boots.

      Customer service patiently gave me size advice, and the shoes are of very good quality. The actual product is much better than the photos.

      The sizing runs large, so I recommend buying one size down and using insoles to fit properly. The shoe shape is nice, not too stiff, and very comfortable to wear.
