The classic look and function of the biker engineer motorcycle boot continues to appeal to riders all over the world and the boot that best suits your need is waiting for you to find it online.

The biker engineer motorcycle boot has a look that just draws you in. It’s rugged and masculine and has the appropriate attitude men and women want in a motorcycle boot. And if you should ever need protection against the road or elements, you can be confident these boots will do the job. They are made with high quality thick leather and come with tough fat soles on all brands and models.

The 11” leather engineer boot is usually the standard shaft size you see the boot in. But some riders prefer a much taller boot. Mens tall engineer boots can range up to 20”, which is to the bend in the knee. The 18” size is more what you would see worn by the CHP or motor patrol officers. If you want a size in between, it won’t be hard to find either. I’ve seen tall engineer boots that look like stovepipe or Calvary boots come with shafts sizes from 11,14,15,16,17,18,19 and 20 inches. (It should be noted that if you do end up ordering tall boots online, you should probably get them a little shorter in shaft size than you originally thought. Boots will often change sizing once they are worn in. As they soften up your foot will tend to sink further into them. So if you had a 20” boot that you expect to meet with the bend of your knee, it could end up being too long. Not good.)

Wesco makes the most intense and gnarly looking boots. They often come with thick Vibram lug soles. Their boots are insane but also expensive for a lot of people. You’re looking at spending around $320 to $450 for these tremendous boots. Most are custom made. They make custom boots with some reaching a height of 38”. I don’t think those are so much for riding motorcycles as for some other purpose.

Chippewa makes some great engineer boots like the Trooper and Odessa Rally styles. These come with Vibram soles and you get them in steel toe models as well. Other manufacturers of good biker engineer and harness style boots are Georgia, Carolina, Double-H, Durango and Harley Davidson. Each of these brands offers some good boots and many will be similar in look. You can’t go wrong with any of them.
