Brake House 2690 engineer boots draw on 1930s utility wear and 1950s motorcycle culture. Built from full-grain vegetable-tanned tea-core cowhide on Goodyear welt construction with your choice of custom rubber or VIBRAM® outsole. A forward-leaning shape and roomier ankle fit set the 2690 apart from the 3530. Pairs well with tapered denim and tailored workwear.

2660 Large and squared toe, high shaft and heel 11.4" / 1.9" Custom rubber or VIBRAM®

    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.

      This is my third pair; enough to keep me entertained for a while. I'll check them out after some time. The last is comfortable. If your feet aren't wide, an the last is fine!

      A friend of mine recommended the engineer boots from Brake House, and they did not make me disappointed. The quality is excellent, and the leather has a beautiful shine. They are a bit stiff at first and need some time to break in. The heel height is just right. The fit is spot on, no squeezing and no pressure on the instep. Highly recommended!
