Show us your boots

ok, so let's start
tatman, bluegrass, big Z, - thanks a lot guys…pretty stoked on my first pair tbh.
FH - still at work buddy. need to do some grocery shopping then i'll try to snap some pics when i'm back at home...can't wait
mclain - thanks a ton sir. tatmantall and you are the guys that got me into all this trouble tbh.
madmonday - these are my first pair of engineers and i'm totally blown away i have to say.
Ed - haven't had the chance to check it out so far. gonna do that in the evening though. atm. i think it wears pretty well and it molds to the shape of your feet pretty well as well...so atm. it's all good!
snowman - FINNMODE? ...well let's wait and see, cuz only time can tell. i'd call it more like "finally i'm able to jump on the things i like, without hesitating and thinking about money too much!"...so let's wait what mode i might be in from now on
hajduk - yap, the outsole is glued on from what i can tell. looks bulletproof though on first inspection. everything's still in place, so no need to worry atm...i can fully enjoy them for the moment
IF the rubber outsoles are glued properly, ie the cobbler knows his job, there is no need to stitch.
thanks for the info buddy. your knowledge on engineer boots is enough to make me sleep good at night…
Very nice Rafa, personally I'm not a fan of engineer boots but I certainly appreciate a quality item when I see one
tbh. i really thought the same at first. hell, even when i had them coming in the mail. i thought i should just give them a try, cuz all in all they are a badass pair of boots, 2nd hand, the price was way too good and after all it was my size…so wth not! i can/could always resell them if i shouldn't dig the fit/look or whatever...
need to wear them for a few days/weeks/months now to really know what's going on, but atm. i'm in loveGreat pick up Finn! How's the fit? I want to see fit pics!
well tbh. the right boot was a tad narrow at first and it took some seconds to really get into it (wearing tennis socks!). besides that it almost felt like it was a half or even whole size smaller (must have a weirdass foot shape!)…the left boot was dope from the getgo. no problems at all and with a bit of space in the heel area and all in all a good feeling.
after a few minutes of wear, the right boot already stretched a fair amount and both felt like a good fit.
so i think they def. need some more days/weeks to really mold to the shape of my feet but atm. all is good!thanks a ton for all the feedback guys...now what engineers to cop next?

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...

I love IJs wescos!

x post from Viberg Thread
Just got these in the mail today!
The Flat Head x Viberg Collab Engineer Boots 8"
Black CXL, Biltrite & Cats Paw

Not a fan of engineers either, but they look great.
-
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!
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...Rafa…Stay with those for a while just to decide if you're an engineer man (pun intended

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 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!
-
^ Some of the more common names are "biker belts," "Indian belts," "vintage western belts," "sovenir belts." I personally made this belt and have tons of other designs inspired by the original 1930's - 1950's belts of the time that I create.

It's like an engineer festival around here, about time too! @vintage_engineer_boots:

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

^Thanks! I'm actually tempted to make one of those for myself.
*Noticed I spelled "souvenir" wrong earlier.
Getting back to boots (kind of) … sent a pair to THE Cobler himself today
