Beyond their selection of exceptional leather jackets, Y'2 also produce their own line of footwear, utilizing the same incredible leathers and skilled craftspeople as their jackets. The panels are hand selected for the smoothest finish and best looking grain, giving a very clean and cohesive finish to an already stellar pair of Engineer Boots.

They're made from Y'2's Sumi dye leather, a vegetable tanned 1.5mm tea core horsehide. Dyed with traditional Sumi ink from the Nara prefecture, this leather takes twice as long to finish due to the slow penetration of the antique coloring method. Sumi ink is derived from ash, and delivers an extremely rich and solid black coloration, that will gradually wear down and fade over time, revealing the natural interior of the leather. 

The rest of the details are classic, but bear mentioning in case you've never seen engineer boots before - full leather lining, solid brass roller buckles at the vamp and shaft, lined belt straps (for durability), a round structured toe, logger heel, and a 270 degree flat welt that can be resoled and rebuilt by any capable cobbler. They stand on the classic Vibram 705 half sole & heel combo, a world class pairing in terms of traction, durability, and sleekness.

Choose 1 size smaller than you Brannock size for the best fit. Expanded sizing information available in the sizing tab.
