With current locations in New York City, Denver, and Los Angeles, Death & Co. is revolutionizing the art of service.

In 2018, we released the original Jakob, and it quickly sold out and became a customer favorite. Through the years, we've received many emails and phone calls asking us to bring it back, and now in 2021, it's finally here. The new Jakob is inspired by a traditional work boot, but with a tapered toe and elegant details. Featuring the tallest profile of any boot we make, the Jakob is both sturdy and lightweight. Constructed in full gain Krumenauer leather and our HELM branded rubber cushion sole, the Jakob offers all-day comfort for anywhere your day takes you.

The Jakob is named after our founder's great great grandfather and also his namesake nephew, who now goes by Jake. Known for their enduring spirits and joyful dispositions, this boot has a sense of adventure in every stitch, just like the guys after which it's named.

United StatesAs comfortable as sneakers
These boots are extra comfortable due to the sole. There is a slight imperfection with the white line sole, but it’s not really that big a deal. Also wasn’t going to return because it was the last pair in my size in stock. I have been wearing them often and the leather is still breaking in and forming to my foot. I purchased my normal Helm size and they fit perfectly. I originally thought they would be more of a winter boot, but I have worn them in warmer temperatures and was still comfortable.
United StatesJakob Boots
I picked up my boots from the Austin, TX store. Normally I wear a 10.5 western boot but the shop specialist recommended sizing down to a 10 for starters. I prefer my boots to have a little wiggle room and the size 10 was a perfect fit. I knew from the moment I put them on that These Boots Are Phenomenal. I have worn them every single day for about a month now. These are constructed using durable leather so they will last which does inherit the requirement of a little patience when breaking in but I didn’t experience any major discomfort. No rubbing or blisters just tight brand new leather that has to be worked into shape by your feet. I stand and walk about 80 percent of my workday and have zero complaints in the comfort department. They grip very well even on iced over concrete. Literally I could not be happier with them. Well worth the investment. I’m already shopping for my next favorite pair of Helm Boots.
United StatesI love the look, but maybe I should have gone a half size smaller
It's a good boot. I have a very high instep with a wide foot and have a serious issue finding boots I can even slip on. Good fit comfortable boot. Just maybe think they run a little bit large.
United StatesI’m loving these boots
I was worried about ordering online, but the boots arrived in excellent condition and fit perfectly. The breaking in period was quick and gentle. I’m blown away by the build quality and look of these boots! I will definitely be buying my next pair from Helm.
