      It's surprising too cos the leather is plenty thick. comparing gussets to the MF (which uses a thinner leather for the gusset than the rest of the upper):

      Think it, be it.

        @Snowy:

        ^It came across as you intended it to. I was/am just curious by nature about why you felt the weight difference 50% is a pretty big weight difference. Appreciate the answer

        Ill throw them on the scale this evening and see if that was close or an exaggeration 😉 but again, wescos are HEAVY, too me they borderline too heavy but…. I like em and I know I can beat the snot out of them and they will still love me.

        • will post some comparison pics as well to give you an idea

        Looks like you got em MCL, congrats! How is the fit my man? 😉

          Lofgrens are here.

          Didn't pay this:

          Love these:

          They are true to US size with a little room for heavy socks. The perfect fit for me.

          Heel to toe of the outsole on this 9.5 is a foot on the nose. Horizontal width at the ball of the foot on the outsole is exactly 4.25"

          Happy happy boy boy

              Haha right?  They are super comfy out of the box too. A suitable rival for nerkg's old Road Champs.

                Just saw the "didnt pay this", how did that work out? Are they just going to bill you?

                  My hope is that government incompetency worked out in my favor.  I was at the PO before it opened and retrieved it from the parcel room directly, I don't think it occurred to them to charge duty.

                  I just LOVE the storm welt…  It looks cool and when you study it it looks like they folded the welt bead themselves, I don't think they used an off the shelf welt, though I could be wrong.

                        Not to beat a dead horse, but I have to say I can't believe how great these are right out of the box. The fit is SOOO perfect. Crazy awesome

                          Yeah, there's zero break-in, I feel like my feet are being lovingly embraced….  I put an insole for thin socks, and for thick socks none needed.  That's the definition of a perfect fit for me.

                                  Chiba I like your style. Now that I have the black CXL, the Cognacs are an inevitability.

                                    I really never liked the look of engineer boots, they just don't strike me right… UNTIL you show em with some jeans on... then they look pretty damn solid.

                                      Boots are looking great guys. Congrats. My JL's are my only engineers, so I can't compare, but I have found them to be very comfortable. Looking forward to putting them back on in another month or so, when the weather cools.

                                        It's incredible how these boots look so much better and better with age.
