Wesco Boss Engineer 16 Inch Leather Lined Black

The Wesco Boss Engineer 16 Inch Leather Lined Black boot stands tall—literally and figuratively—as a premium choice for riders who demand protection, durability, and timeless style. Measuring a full 16 inches from sole to top, this boot offers extended coverage compared to the 11 Inch Boss, shielding your legs and feet from road debris, heat, and weather.

Wesco constructs the boot with a full-leather vamp and a smooth leather lining, ensuring long-lasting wear and a comfortable fit. Leather midsoles and insoles add structure and support, while a steel shank reinforces the sole, absorbing shock and guarding against punctures. This model skips the steel toe, giving you a more flexible feel without sacrificing ruggedness.  Three nickel-plated buckles—two at the top and one across the instep—secure the boot firmly in place, whether you’re cruising down the highway or navigating city streets. The Vibram 100 lug sole grips confidently on slick surfaces and resists oil and water, making it ideal for unpredictable conditions.

Fit matters, especially with tall boots. Shaft circumference varies by foot size, so Wesco offers both regular and wide calf options. This particular boot features a regular calf fit, and we recommend checking sizing to ensure the right match.  Handcrafted in the USA, the Wesco Boss Engineer 16 Inch boot reflects over a century of bootmaking expertise. It’s more than footwear—it’s a statement of purpose, built for those who ride hard, work tough, and live boldly. Whether you’re chasing the horizon or standing your ground, this boot delivers unmatched performance and iconic Wesco style.
