John Lofgren (Speedway)

I'm inclined to go that route as well, only one way to find out I guess…
-
That was John's advice–email him he will measure the sole length and ball width
-
Did you go tts?
FH and Rafa and anyone else needing sizing info:
Man, I totally spaced this until Tat asked me a question and I re-read an email from John, but in regards to sizing he said that you can basically follow a Brannock device in US sizes on these boots.
Still, email him and ask if you want to make sure, as mentioned he provided outsole length and width at the ball of the foot too.
-
Welp, I decided to go for the Lofgrens in black… only one pair in (what I hope is) my size left, I figured I better get them while I can. Now comes the misery of waiting.
Wow, I forsee much boot porn when they arrive :). I'd suggest creating a dedicated thread for them so we can all admire their beauty. May they ship swiftly and fit perfectly :).

That's weird, I remember thinking that Vintage Engineer Boots sized down on his. Hmmm…

Haha John sized UP to fit thick socks in there… feet are so weird....

Thank you my brother, I will be suffering lightly until they arrive and hoping they fit, obviously. I am guessing I could move them to a loving home if they don't, and that makes it easier to bear the wait.

Thanks SF, of course I will share pics, and if they don't fit, someone will get a bargain on some killers!

Yeah, I reread his review a minute ago and VEB said he's usually an 8 but went with a 7 on these.

Someone just ordered the last black size 11,5 @ Speedway shop so I guess I'll have to wait for the next run, bummer…
-
Sorry mate. That was me. :-\ Not sure what size you normally go for but I'm usually a 13 or sometimes a 12 but these measured exactly the same as my pairs that fit at 13" wall to toe and 4 3/8" wide. If they don't work out for me I'd be happy to work something out with you if your interested.
-
Hope they work out for you, if not let me know
-
Absolutely, you'll have first dibs if they don't.

what's your size in your latest Viberg Boots mate?…
-
He's doing another run
-
Sorry mate. That was me.
Haaa, couldn't resist eh brotha? Well-played my man. It may be a while, they haven't ordered the next run yet. The sooner they get rid of the rest of their inventory, the sooner the next run goes, sounds like. So get em while they're hot!
-
I agree MCL as I stated I had been in contact with John about badalassi pair since may and he recently told me that they decided to go ahead with their workboot but were still waiting for lower inventory on engineers so could be another few months
-
I asked if they;re doing more baldalassi cognac, as those will be mandatory if so, no word back yet.
