Brake House 3530 engineer boots draw on 1930s workwear and 1950s motorcycle culture. Built from your choice of full-grain vegetable-tanned tea-core, oil-waxed, or suede leather on Goodyear welt construction with an Italian VIBRAM® MINI LUG™ 430 outsole. A rounded toe, snug ankle fit, and long silhouette give the 3530 a clean, elongated profile.
