Clearly $800+ it is a lot of money for a pair of boots, and requires careful consideration (unless you are "F*** You/Bill Gates rich, which I assume most of us are not). My friend about shit his pants when I told him what I paid for my White's, but now that he's seen them and looked closely and compared to his boots (which are falling apart after ~1 year), I think he gets it, and now he's scouring eBay for some nice used boots that he can afford. And we all know there are some (many) people who would never spend more than $50 for a pair of blue jeans, ever, period.
People join these forums to get information and opinions not available otherwise - it's all good. And clearly, when my Cxl boots are 5+ years old, my opinion on this topic will be much more valid.

In answering the question about weight…
On my home scales my 11.5 lofgrens weigh in at what looks to be exactly 3 lbs.
My size 12 wesco narrow Morrison toe weighs in at approximately 5.5 lbs.In conclusion... My approximation of them weighing twice as much is not far off the mark.

@Chiba:
Saw the original pair of blue Badalassi boots at Mushmans yesterday. Crazy color change. They now have a strong greenish hue.
You know what they say, Chiba … pictures or didn't happen
That's really interesting news. Ironically, I pinged Mr. Lofgren just the other day about a pair in my size. Still sold out
Alright, I'll get back over there and take some pics, next chance I get. And quit bugging John about engineer boots, I want him to make me some Pecos!

FWIW…. The same outrageously priced ebay seller MCL posted in the items for sale thread who has been selling RMC has a full size run of black and brown lofgren engineers.... Not really sure how though??? As John has told me not long ago and his site also indicates sizes are running out across the board.
The sellers only asking a reasonable price of just under$1600
Have at it gentleman!!! -
Total asshole. Wtf.
-
im wondering the legitimacy of this sellers auctions. I cant wrap my head around how he has full size runs of all this stuff from these to the bucos etc. really strange but his feedback suggests he is sincere, despite his out of this world pricing.
-
It looks like he's selling exactly what Speedway shop still has in stock, so you're basically only paying a 40-50% proxy fee to this guy, who wouldn't jump at a chance like that …
-
The thing that irritates me is his items pollute my eBay searches.

Practically new pair of Lofgrens for sake on the bay, size 7:
