Product Details
- Premium Full-Grain Leather Upper - Cut from durable, natural-grain leather that molds to the foot over time and only improves with wear, developing a rich patina unique to its owner.
- 360° Goodyear Welt Construction - Heavy-duty stitched (not glued) sole attachment for lasting strength, water resistance at the seam, and the ability to be resoled for years of continued wear.
- Unlined, Breathable Interior - An intentionally unlined build keeps the foot cool on long days and allows the leather to break in close to the foot from the very first wear.
- 10" Extended Shaft - Classic harness-boot height for added lower-leg coverage and coast-to-coast riding confidence.
- Removable, Shock-Absorbing Insole - Cushions every step and helps reduce fatigue whether you're logging miles on a bike or hours on your feet at work.
- Oil-Resistant Outsole with 90° Heel - A traditional stacked heel profile paired with a lightweight, oil- and abrasion-resistant sole built for traction on asphalt and beyond.

There is a boot for every occasion, and then there is the boot that was built for the road itself. The Nomad 10" Harness Rider carries forward a design born in the saddle over a century ago - the pull straps, the polished harness ring, the unmistakable silhouette of a boot that has always known exactly what it's for. Ours is cut from full-grain leather selected for its depth of grain and its willingness to age well, darkening and softening with every mile until the boot becomes less something you wear and more something you've earned.
Beneath the leather, the construction is where the Nomad quietly proves itself. A full 360° Goodyear welt joins the upper to the sole by hand-guided stitch rather than adhesive alone - the same method bootmakers have trusted for generations, chosen because it can be undone and redone. When the outsole finally wears through, a cobbler can resole the Nomad rather than retire it, which is precisely the point: this is a boot meant to be kept, not replaced. The interior is left unlined by design, a deliberate choice that keeps the boot breathable through long days and lets the leather begin its break-in immediately against the foot.
The extended 10" shaft offers real coverage through the lower leg, while a removable, shock-absorbing insole and an oil-resistant outsole with a traditional 90° heel keep the ride steady whether you're crossing pavement, gravel, or a work site floor. Handcrafted in Mexico from premium materials, the Nomad is a boot with a job to do - and the good sense to look better every day it does it.
FAQs
What is a harness riding boot, and how is it different from a regular boot?
A harness boot is a style that originated with cavalry and early motorcycle riders, identified by its pull straps and metal harness ring at the ankle. The Nomad honors that heritage while updating it for modern riders and workers who need a boot that performs on asphalt, gravel, and everything in between.
Is the Nomad Harness Boot true to size?
The Nomad fits true to size for most wearers. Because the leather is unlined and will soften and mold to your foot as it breaks in, we recommend ordering your standard size rather than sizing up.
Can the Nomad be resoled?
Yes. The Nomad is built with full 360° Goodyear welt construction, which means the outsole can be professionally removed and replaced without compromising the boot, extending its life well beyond the original sole.
How should I care for full-grain leather boots like the Nomad?
Wipe away dust and debris with a soft, dry cloth, then condition the leather every few months with a quality leather conditioner to keep it supple and prevent cracking. Because the interior is unlined, allow the boots to air out between wears.
Is the Nomad suitable for motorcycle riding as well as everyday wear?
Yes. The 10" shaft, oil-resistant outsole, and heavy-duty construction were designed with riders in mind, but the boot's classic silhouette makes it just as at home with denim on any day off the bike.
Where is the Nomad Harness Boot made?
The Nomad is handcrafted in Mexico using premium full-grain leather, with every pair built to the same rigorous construction standard.
