* This is a custom-made model, and its production time is longer than our other boots.

Rooted in 1930s workwear and the rebellious spirit of 1950s motorcycle culture, the Brake House engineer boots 3450 can be ordered in your choice of premium Horween leathers—including Chromexcel (CXL), Essex, and Dublin. Horween Leather Company, founded in 1905 and long regarded as the “King of Leather.” is known for rich oils, deep character, and leathers that develop powerful patina over time. Built with Goodyear welt construction and a VIBRAM® rubber sole, they offer exceptional durability, superior grip across surfaces, and are easily resoleable for long-term wear.

The design features a sharper, more refined toe and a slimmer overall fit—giving the boot a sleeker silhouette that pairs well with tapered jeans, straight-leg denim, or tailored work trousers. It adds a clean, modern edge to the rugged classic, making it versatile for both casual and elevated looks.

Each pair is proudly handmade with years of honed craftsmanship—never mass-produced. No two boots are exactly the same, giving every pair its own distinct character and story.

Shaft height measures 9.8" with a 1.4" heel for a lower profile and everyday comfort.

Go check our blog post, Engineer Boots Guide Vol.1: The Origins and What to Know Before You Buy for more information about the origin and the style of the boots.

* Horween and VIBRAM® version is custom made and cannot be returned.
