Key Features

100% Genuine Burnished Pull-Up Horsehide Leather Upper

The upper is crafted from 100% authentic horsehide leather with a burnished pull-up finish — a wax-treated surface that responds to flexing and handling by developing natural tonal variation, surface highlights, and deepening warmth over time. Horsehide’s superior density and tight grain structure provide exceptional durability and abrasion resistance far beyond standard cowhide, while the pull-up finish ensures every pair develops an increasingly unique and personal character with every ride and every wear.

Handmade Construction

Each pair is assembled by hand with precise bonded and stitched construction throughout — ensuring consistent quality, structural integrity, and artisan-level detail that machine production cannot replicate.

Cross Ankle Strap with Button Stud & Hand Stitching

The defining design detail of these boots — a leather cross ankle strap wraps the shaft and fastens with a button stud, accented with hand-stitched cross detailing and decorative saddle stitching. This distinctive hardware and stitching combination gives the boots their unmistakable retro motorcycle character while providing functional ankle reinforcement.

Antique Brass Side Zipper

A smooth antique brass side zipper runs the inner shaft for rapid, effortless on-and-off entry — practical motorcycle boot functionality with a warm heritage hardware finish that coordinates naturally with the burnished horsehide upper.

Thick Brown Leather Midsole Welt

A substantial brown leather midsole welt is clearly visible in profile — framing the transition between the horsehide upper and the rubber outsole with a premium construction detail consistent with quality heritage boot-making tradition. Visible welt stitching reinforces the sole bond throughout.

Aggressive Radial-Pattern Black Lug Rubber Outsole

The thick black rubber outsole features a bold radial/star-pattern lug tread — delivering exceptional grip, traction, and durability across varied terrain from urban streets to outdoor riding environments. The sole-up view reveals the full architectural quality of the tread design — a functional and visually impressive construction detail.

Waterproof Construction

These horsehide motorcycle boots feature waterproof construction — providing reliable protection against spring and autumn rain without compromising the premium exotic leather exterior.

Full-Grain Leather Insole

A full-grain leather insole provides firm, breathable underfoot support that gradually moulds to the wearer’s foot shape — delivering an increasingly personalised and comfortable fit with extended riding and daily wear.

Genuine Leather Lining

The full interior lining is genuine leather — breathable, temperature-regulating, and consistent with the premium horsehide exterior standard throughout the boot.

Bulbous Round Toe

The subtly oversized, bulbous round toe is consistent with classic workwear and motorcycle boot heritage — providing generous toe box space for extended daily and riding use while contributing to the bold, confident silhouette.

Care Guide

1. Wipe Down After Riding: Use a dry or lightly damp cloth to remove road dust, mud, and moisture — wipe in the direction of the grain
2. Condition with Horsehide Products: Apply a quality horsehide leather conditioner or pull-up leather balm every 4–6 weeks — the pull-up finish responds exceptionally well to conditioning, deepening in warmth and tone
3. Polish to Enhance: Use a matching color leather cream (brown, gray, or black) to restore surface depth and add protection — pull-up leather develops its best character under regular hand-polishing
4. Maintain Waterproofing: Reapply a leather waterproofing spray periodically — especially after conditioning which can temporarily reduce water resistance
5. Maintain the Brass Zipper: Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or beeswax to the zipper teeth periodically for smooth, snag-free operation
6. Maintain the Button Stud: Wipe the antique brass button stud with a dry cloth; apply a small amount of brass cleaner occasionally to maintain the finish
7. Dry Naturally: If wet, allow to air-dry at room temperature away from direct heat or sunlight
8. Use Boot Trees: Insert cedar boot trees after each wear to maintain the ankle shaft shape and absorb interior moisture
9. Inspect the Welt: Check the brown leather midsole welt periodically — address any separation with a cobbler early to extend boot life significantly

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is the upper genuine horsehide leather? Yes. The upper and shaft are crafted from 100% genuine horsehide leather with a burnished pull-up finish — a premium exotic hide distinct from cowhide or synthetic alternatives.

2. What is burnished pull-up horsehide? Pull-up leather is wax or oil-treated during tanning — when flexed or scratched, the affected area lightens and develops natural tonal variation. Burnishing adds a warm, slightly polished surface character from new. Together, burnished pull-up horsehide develops an increasingly complex, layered patina that is unique to each wearer’s use patterns.

3. Are these boots true to size? Yes. Order your standard EU size. For wider feet or if between sizes, sizing up half a size is recommended.

4. Are these boots waterproof? Yes. These horsehide motorcycle boots feature waterproof construction for reliable protection against rain and wet riding and outdoor conditions. Reapply leather waterproofing treatment periodically to maintain performance.

5. What is the cross ankle strap for? The cross ankle strap wraps the shaft and fastens with an antique brass button stud — providing functional ankle reinforcement for motorcycle riding while serving as the boot’s most distinctive visual and artisan design detail, accented with hand-stitched cross detailing.

6. What colors are available? These horsehide motorcycle boots are available in Brown, Gray, and Black.

7. How does horsehide patina develop differently from cowhide? Horsehide’s tighter grain structure distributes surface oils more evenly during aging — producing a denser, more layered patina with greater depth than cowhide over equivalent wear time. The burnished pull-up finish amplifies this effect, making the aging process visible and beautiful from the first week of wear.

8. Are these boots suitable for actual motorcycle riding? Yes. The above-ankle shaft coverage, waterproof construction, medium heel, and aggressive lug rubber outsole make these boots well-suited for motorcycle riding in addition to everyday casual and workwear carry.

9. What is the outsole tread pattern? The thick black rubber outsole features a radial/star-pattern lug tread — a bold, architecturally designed grip pattern that provides exceptional traction across urban, wet, and outdoor surfaces.

10. Are these boots handmade? Yes. Each pair is handmade with bonded and stitched construction, cross ankle strap hand-stitching, and consistent artisan-level finishing — quality and character beyond standard machine-produced alternatives.
