engineer boots

Biker's leather footwear

Engineer boots are a style of heavy leather work boots reaching mid-calf, originally designed for railroad workers.

They feature a rounded toe, low heel, pull-on straps at the top, and no laces.

The rugged design was adopted by motorcyclists in the mid-20th century and became associated with biker and rock-and-roll culture: He wore engineer boots and a leather jacket.
