My second pair John Lofgren

Monkey boots Shinki leather. Amazing just like a flat head leather jacket.

Was gonna buy the Rolling Dub, didn’t like leather on them.

I have been window shopping and comparing JL models lately, I was wondering if anyone had any experience with the Steel Gang model? Nice pickup @Kasi

@gneicher thanks

You can’t go wrong with John Lofgren boots, what ever you buy

@jdwaid I just saw that you picked up 3 pairs of beautiful boots this summer. Which pair is the most comfortable ? They all look great and wear them in good health!

[jdwaid]

@Denman-John yeah I definitely went hard on new boots this summer I discovered my feet had grown a size and in length and width so upgraded my boot rotation.

I think each boot offers something a little different in terms of fit and comfort. The engineer is the roomiest, almost like wearing a slipper after it’s broken in, but it is also very heavy and not something I’d plan to wear when walking very long distances.The combat boot is probably the most snug / sturdy and the ones I’d trust for long marches on rough terrain. The best all around is the El Capitan. Very comfortable from the get go and the olive cxl is the softest of all three. It can handle long distances like the combat boot, but has much more relaxed feel under foot.

All three are horween cxl leather. I can’t speak to the horsehide versions which I assume would feel a bit firmer on the feet and require a longer break in.
