Henry Boots

Based on old athletic boots, which are also the origin of sports shoes, we recommend this pair of shoes from BROTHER BRIDGE as a must-have item for our wardrobe, adding a dressy feel to it.

After several minor changes, it has a new appearance this season. To create an even more classic impression than before, Brother Bridge changed the sole to a thinner type. It has flexibility that you wouldn't expect from a Goodyear welt construction.

"It is no exaggeration to say that it is perfect for running." - Director Hideaki Suzuki

The laced-up design gives out a hard impression at first glance, it looks very sharp, and the toe part is thin (even with high insteps, it looks thin), giving the impression of a dress boot. However, when you put it on it is actually quite soft and comfortable. Therefore, it is designed to be compatible with wide pants, so you can enjoy the boot-like feeling or you can also show off with an elegant style.

Made of european horsehide tanned by Shinki Hikaku. Special made flexible Goodyear welt construction. Soft and classic finish on the toe cap. Sole and heel are replaceable.

Vintage Black Leather

This high-quality calfskin leather is made from some of the finest rawhide in the world, produced in the Netherlands, and tanned using an original recipe at a long-established tannery in Himeji. It took over three years of development to produce this product.
The calfskin leather is made from high-quality raw hides and is tanned with tannins and finished with only oil and dyes, allowing you to enjoy beautiful changes over time. The dense texture of the tannin tanning is a sign of high skill.

Normally, chrome tanned and pigment-finished leather provides a uniform finish and stable surface, but it's somewhat inferior in terms of aging. On the other hand, tannin-tanned leather has the characteristic of developing a sheen and retaining wrinkles over time due to the reaction of its components.

Tannin tanning, by its nature, tends to make the leather slightly harder, but here at the tannery's (leather factory's) years of experience and the unique use of water have produced a more flexible tannin-tanned leather. It's a rare and wild type of leather often used for women's shoes.

Additionally, to make the leather age more noticeably with use, the surface is finished only with dyes, which allows cream to penetrate well. With care, the leather darkens and develops a beautiful patina.

Although it is a more labor-intensive tanning method, Brother Bridge decided to produce calf leather with the desire for customers to enjoy the natural changes that this leather undergoes.
