    Man.. This is not my week… My rrl Julian engineer off eBay came today.. Yep they're new, unfortunately I believe they have been sitting in a a horrible environment for god knows how long and are so dry there are crack through the leather on the back of one of the boot loops and they look more brittle than a 150 year old woman. Haven't heard back from seller so have filed a dispute just in case.

    My week= winning  😠

      On the otherside you've just got 150years of evo right out of the box. Clean them up give a good coat of leather conditioner+oil, let it soak, then protect and I bet they'll look amazing.

        Honestly they are trash I think. I do not believe there is any salvation and like I said the pull loop on the back of the boot has completely split in half… If there is hope...I'm guessing  its more work than I am willing to put into these I've never seen leather so crispy fried.

            Ill try to grab some before I ship them back tomorrow. Trying to get this resolved at the moment he's asking me to send then back to a P O box… I've akways returned sig confirmation tracking number and don't feel comfortable sending these back without proof of delivery... They honestly don't look bad except the torn belt pull loop but the feel of the leatger is dry enough to make your skin crawl.

              Yeah, once the leather fibers dry enough that they begin to break apart, there's not much you can do.  Moisturizing products preserve, they can't undo damage that's already there.  All you'll be able to do is keep them from disintegrating any further.

                Sorry guys I did not get pictures this turned into a bit of an arguing match between me and the seller after I informed him he was asking me to ship to a different address than the one eBay provided me with and it has been back and forth all morning. PayPal have me until the 27th to get it shipped so I spent the first part of the morning repeatedly messaging him I absolutely can't send to this other address and then had tovrush to get the package in th mail before work because with being a holiday weekend this will be the last day I can ship it without the resolution center closing the case and being out my $700 the only thing you could have really told by the pics anyway is the ripped pull loop the insides don't look terribly different from how they should "look" it's the feel of leather tht gives way the damage that hd been done by poor storge

                    Filed a dispute seller agreed to refund upon receipt so money should be moved over as soon as the signature confirmation is recieved by UPS. I have always used the dispute option to make sure my ass is covered in situations like these… Especially when dealing with larger transactions. I got screwed once never again

                      Sorry to read this Tat but best decision not to take em. Check out some new murdocks or the lofgrens imo, soon your viberg arrives too and you will be a happy man 🙂

                      Cheers,

                          Received my Rios of mercedes RRL MURDOCK engineers in the mail a little earlier. Went TTS And these fit better than any boot I have owned. Very happy overall, I do see a few things that could have been addressed in production  (just a few minuscule dings in the welt that is only noticeable with the boot being held right in front of my face and plan on changing the buckles to traditional roller buckles,, overall I am very happy with these and will post pictures in a bit.. Now just need to add the badalassi cognac lofgren and the MFRC and ill be happy with boots for this year! (Yeah right) 🙂

                                10.5D. Given these are too big for me, I would say that they fit like an 11 trubalance

                                  RRL Store down on Bleeker was pretty cool.  Some nice vintage boots.  Most of their stuff did seem to be made in… how to put this nicely... low cost areas.... which has it's place, but when the prices are pretty high, like here... not digging it.

                                    I agree with Tigerpac, RRL stuff looks good, but if their stuff is more expensive than stuff made in Japan or in the US, someone is getting f#cked..
