Blake Men's Black Leather Motorcycle Boots for Touring

Blake is a men's motorcycle boot model designed for touring, recreational and urban riding. It combines purposeful motorcycle construction with the comfort of everyday leather footwear, so after getting off the bike you can walk, explore or spend the rest of the day in the same pair without changing shoes.

The approximately 16 cm shaft is made from natural Crazy Horse cowhide leather. Its waxed pull-up finish naturally develops tonal variation, lighter marks at flex points and a gradual patina, giving each pair an individual look over time.

On the bike and off it

Blake is designed to balance motorcycle use with the comfort needed for normal walking. It suits touring riders whose day may combine riding with stops, walking, sightseeing or everyday use.

This is not a heavy, rigid track boot. The construction focuses on functional details useful while riding while retaining greater freedom and comfort away from the motorcycle.

Leather gear-shift panel

The front of the upper features an additional leather panel positioned where the boot repeatedly contacts the motorcycle gear lever during shifting. It creates an extra layer of leather between the gear lever and the main upper while reinforcing the model's technical motorcycle look.

Lacing and side zip

Full lacing allows the fit to be adjusted across the instep and midfoot, while the side zip makes the boots quicker to put on and take off without fully relacing them each time.

Metal eyelets and upper lace hooks, a leather heel strap with a metal buckle and layered leather construction give Blake a strong, rugged character influenced by biker, vintage and workwear style.

TR sole with multidirectional tread

The sole is made from TR thermoplastic rubber and features a pronounced multidirectional tread. The front sole thickness is approximately 1.5 cm, while the rear height is approximately 3 cm. The sole is bonded to the upper.

Leather interior

The lining and insole surface are made from natural leather. The model has a standard width with a standard amount of room across the instep and forefoot.

Blake fits slightly larger than standard sizing, so we recommend measuring your foot and comparing it with the size chart before ordering.

Handmade in Poland

Each pair of Blake boots is handmade in our workshop in Poland. Standard production and preparation time before dispatch is 3–5 business days.

Natural leather may require a short break-in period

Natural leather may feel slightly firm at first. During the first few days, wear the shoes for shorter periods so the leather can gradually adapt at flex and pressure points. Breaking in will not correct insufficient length or an incorrectly chosen size.

Materials & construction
Upper Full leather upper

Natural cowhide leather

The upper is made entirely from natural cowhide leather. The leather type, surface finish and recommended care profile vary by model.

Leather Crazy Horse leather

Natural bovine grain Crazy Horse leather with a waxed pull-up finish. Its defining characteristics are natural tonal variation and lighter marks that appear as the leather flexes and is worn. The surface has a distinctive, slightly rugged appearance and gradually develops an individual patina.

Lighter marks at flex points, changes in shade, local scuffs and a patina that develops over time are natural characteristics of Crazy Horse leather and its waxed pull-up finish. They are not material defects. The surface evolves with wear, so each pair can gradually develop its own individual appearance.

Lining & insole Leather lining and leather-covered insole

The lining and the top surface of the insole are made from natural pigskin leather. This keeps the foot in direct contact with a natural material and reflects the construction standard of traditionally crafted leather footwear.

Outsole TR sole 1.5/3 cm with multidirectional tread

Black sole made from TR thermoplastic rubber, with a standard profile and pronounced multidirectional tread. The sole measures approximately 1.5 cm at the forefoot and 3 cm at the heel. It is used for lace-up boots and selected motorcycle- and military-inspired styles. The sole is cemented to the upper using technical footwear adhesives after the bonding surfaces have been properly prepared and pressed.

Care
Before first wear

Before first wear, the footwear can be protected with a product suitable for Crazy Horse, waxed or oiled leather. Apply the product to a clean, dry surface according to the manufacturer's instructions. First test it on an inconspicuous area, as even a colourless product may darken the leather or alter the visibility of the characteristic pull-up effect.

Cleaning

Remove dust, sand and dry dirt with a soft brush or a clean, dry cloth. For light soiling, use a well-wrung, slightly damp cloth only on the affected area. Do not soak the entire leather surface or scrub it aggressively.

Regular care

When the leather begins to look dry, apply a small amount of colourless product intended for Crazy Horse, waxed or oiled leather. Apply it in a thin, even layer without over-conditioning. Care may slightly darken the surface and reduce the visibility of lighter marks characteristic of the pull-up effect.

Moisture protection

For protection against everyday moisture, use a product suitable for Crazy Horse, waxed or oiled leather. The treatment helps reduce moisture and dirt absorption but does not make the footwear completely waterproof. Avoid prolonged contact between the leather and water.

After getting wet

Blot away surface moisture with a dry, absorbent cloth. Insert clean paper or shoe trees to help the footwear retain its shape. Let the shoes dry naturally at room temperature, away from radiators, fireplaces, hairdryers and direct sunlight. Once fully dry, the leather can be protected again with a suitable product if its condition requires it.

What to avoid

Avoid heavily covering coloured polishes, harsh detergents, large amounts of water and intensive scrubbing. Do not use petrol, solvents, acetone, degreasers or technical chemicals. Excessive amounts of grease, oil or wax can significantly darken the leather and alter the characteristic pull-up effect.

Styling
Biker: jeans, leather jacket and heavier layers

Leather boots with a motorcycle-inspired biker character work especially well with straight or slightly tapered jeans, a leather jacket, a simple T-shirt, chunky knitwear and a heavier coat. Black, charcoal, dark denim and natural leather reinforce the strong silhouette and highlight metal and construction details. The result is a confident, masculine everyday look inspired by classic biker style that also works well in more rugged outfits.

Military-inspired: cargo trousers, denim and field jacket

Leather boots and ankle boots inspired by military aesthetics work naturally with cargo trousers, straight jeans, chinos, overshirts and field jackets. Black, brown, khaki, olive and charcoal pair well with denim, canvas, leather and wool. Simple cuts, heavier fabrics and utilitarian details reinforce the rugged, confident silhouette without turning the outfit into full military styling.

Workwear: denim, overshirt and heavyweight fabrics

Workwear-inspired leather boots pair naturally with straight jeans, heavyweight cotton trousers, cargo trousers, overshirts, work jackets, chunky sweaters and heavier coats. Denim, canvas, natural leather, wool and textured fabrics reinforce the utilitarian aesthetic and highlight visible construction details. Brown, black, khaki, olive and navy create a natural palette for classic workwear and rugged outfits.

Urban: jeans, T-shirt and lightweight jacket

Urban leather footwear is easy to combine with straight or slightly tapered jeans, chinos, a plain T-shirt, sweatshirt, overshirt and lightweight jacket. It is a versatile base for everyday outfits built around simple cuts and neutral colors. Black, charcoal, navy and brown work well with denim, cotton and natural leather, so the footwear can be styled in both relaxed casual and cleaner city looks.

FAQ

Najczęściej zadawane pytania o model Blake

What type of motorcycle riding is this model designed for?

This model is designed for touring, recreational and urban motorcycle riding. It combines the functional character of motorcycle footwear with the comfort needed off the bike, making it suitable for longer rides, stops, sightseeing and everyday commuting. It is aimed at riders looking for leather motorcycle boots they can ride in and comfortably walk in afterward, rather than heavy, rigid track boots.

What is the leather gear-shift panel on the front of the boot for?

The additional leather panel is positioned exactly where the boot repeatedly contacts the motorcycle gear lever during shifting. It creates an extra layer of leather between the gear lever and the main upper, so the area exposed to repeated contact is better suited to this type of use. It is a functional detail of the motorcycle-oriented construction that also gives the model a more technical, distinctive look.

What is the difference between Blake, Jimy and Ryan, and which leather is used in each model?

Blake, Jimy and Ryan are based on the same core construction of men's leather motorcycle boots. They share a similar silhouette and intended use, so the main difference between them is the type of natural leather and the way its surface is finished. This is what gives each version its distinctive texture, appearance and character.

Blake – natural Crazy Horse leather
Blake is made from black Crazy Horse cowhide leather with a waxed pull-up finish. The surface has a more rugged, natural texture and can develop lighter marks, local scuffs and a gradual patina as the leather bends and ages. This gives every pair more individual character over time. Blake is the right choice for riders looking for classic black leather motorcycle boots with a raw, rugged appearance.

Jimy – natural Kabir leather with a vintage finish
Jimy uses Kabir leather finished to create a stronger vintage effect. The black surface features tonal variation, distressed areas and hand-finished shading that adds visual depth and makes each pair slightly individual. Of the three models, Jimy has the most distinctive, expressive and deliberately aged appearance.

Ryan – natural Crust leather with a smooth black finish
Ryan is made from Crust leather finished in a clean, uniform black. Compared with the pull-up character of Blake and the vintage shading of Jimy, its surface looks smoother, calmer and more consistent. Ryan is the most understated, classic and minimalist version of the three.

Which one should you choose? Choose Blake for a natural pull-up effect and developing patina, Jimy for a stronger vintage look with hand-finished tonal variation, or Ryan if you prefer smooth, clean and uniform black leather.

How does this style fit?

This style runs slightly large. Before choosing a size, check the insole lengths in the size guide and compare them with the insole length of shoes that fit you well. Do not compare the insole length directly with your foot length, as the insole needs to include the extra room required for a proper fit. If you are between two sizes, the smaller size will usually be the better choice.

Is this style suitable for wide feet?

This style has a standard width, with standard room over the instep and in the forefoot. It is not specifically designed for wide feet. The size guide lists insole lengths and cannot be used to assess the width of the boots. If your feet are noticeably wide, the fit will depend on their individual shape.

Why does this model have both laces and a side zip?

They serve different purposes. The laces let you fine-tune the fit across the instep and midfoot, while the side zip makes the boots quick to put on and take off without fully unlacing them each time. The combination also shapes the look: the lacing, metal eyelets and zip give the boot a stronger, more distinctive silhouette and reinforce its rugged, masculine character. Instead of looking like a plain, smooth ankle boot, the model has greater visual presence and more personality.

Does natural leather need breaking in?

Natural leather may feel slightly firmer at first. With wear, it gradually adapts in areas of flex and pressure. Breaking in will not, however, correct insufficient shoe length or an incorrectly chosen size.

Does Crazy Horse leather change in appearance with wear?

Yes. Lighter marks, creases, local scuffs and a gradually developing patina are natural characteristics of Crazy Horse leather. The material evolves with wear, so each pair develops its own individual character over time.

Are lighter marks and scuffs on the leather a defect?

No. With Crazy Horse leather, changes in shade, lighter marks at flex points and local scuffs are characteristic of its waxed pull-up finish. They are not material defects, but part of the leather’s natural appearance.

How should Crazy Horse leather be cared for?

Dust and dry dirt are best removed with a soft brush or cloth. For light marks, use a well-wrung, slightly damp cloth on the affected area. For periodic care, use products intended for Crazy Horse, oiled or waxed leather. Always test the product first on a less visible area.

Is Crazy Horse leather waterproof?

No. Crazy Horse leather is not fully waterproof. Proper impregnation can reduce the absorption of moisture and dirt, but it does not make the footwear waterproof. Avoid prolonged soaking and never dry the boots directly next to a radiator or other heat source.

How is the sole with segmented tread constructed?

The sole is made from TR, a thermoplastic rubber. It has a clearly defined heel and segmented tread in the forefoot and heel areas, while the middle section remains smooth. The sole is approximately 1.7 cm thick at the front and about 3 cm high at the rear. It is bonded to the upper.

Are the boots handcrafted in Poland?

Yes. Every pair is handcrafted in our workshop in Poland using traditional shoemaking methods.

How long does it take to prepare the shoes for dispatch?

Each pair is handcrafted after the order is placed. Standard production and preparation time before dispatch is 3–5 business days. This does not include the carrier’s delivery time.
