      Not a fan of engineers either, but they look great.

      Made in England, clothed in Japan, fed in America and drunk in Belgium !

        Not a huge engineer boot fan but those are nice - congrats!

        How much those set ya back if you don't mind me being nosey?

        $500 + $25 Shipping, they were Dead Stock that Morgan found for me. He's awesome!

        @Bluegrass:

        Congrats Jepanic, nice.  Are those 8", or taller?  Looks similar to Viberg Short Shift.

        Yes, they are 8". Indeed they do look like Short Shifts. I have an MTO of Short Shifts in Black CXL hopefully on my feet in 8 weeks.

        I wasn't a fan either until I kept seeing them pop up here and other websites I was looking at. I wanted boots that I could just slip into and not have to lace up all the time.  😉

          ^wow what a great deal…though I don't really like the 310 last for an engineer boot! great collab
          really interesting...

          @injunjack:

          Rafa…Stay with those for a while just to decide if you're an engineer man (pun intended 😉  )

          After you have settled with those say 4 weeks 24/7 use and you still like engineer boots, we'll discuss about next purchase, right? 🙂

          I eyeballed Lone wolfs loooong but decided otherwise. Just a personal preference dictated by the way I use mine...

          was just kidding o/course buddy . need to get other things first before going with another pair of engineer boots and besides that these should last long enough to not feel the urge to purchase again 😛 gonna start wearing them from tomorrow on so let's fee 😉

          @tigerpac:

          Rafa - you're going to have start doing mid-day boot changes to keep up with all those great boots you have

          i only have six pairs so it's all still pretty easy going buddy 😉

                    Dyed a belt and matched the studs to the buckles of my Lofgren's

                    What is that style of belt??? I really love that style. I have no idea where to find them, and no amount of google searching has turned up shit!

                    Fat dudes need good clothes too.

                        Yeah man I really like the skulls you made out of spots on one of your belts, awesome.

                                  Here's my first every pair of Engineer Boots purchased in 1991 in a small shop in San Jose, California.  They're were made by Double H and cost about $90.  I wore these like it was no ones business (that's all natural patina).  Notice the western style heels.  They didn't start off that way - I wore the heels down so far before the initial re-heel that the cobler had no choice but to reshape them.  I had the heels replaced at least six or seven times over the span of four years.  I believe my parents still have these boots somewhere in their home.
