      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!

            Interesting point about the weight, my CXL Viberg Engineers, (UK 10, 9" tall), come out as 5lbs 12oz on my digital scales. Not sure if tatmantall's weights were per pair or not, but mine were, i.e. the combined weight of both boots.

              That was indeed per pair.

                      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!!!

                          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 …

                              Maybe Bill Gates wants a pair… I struggle to wrap my head around the regular price!

                                    Damn, my size too! If I wasn't moving to a new apartment (have to put down first/last/deposti/fee/first born) I would jump on them.

                                        you can always tell they are my boots because the heels get scarred up real bad (didn't bother with taking a pic of that), real quick…. my rolling chair at the tattoo studio always bangs up the back of any foot wear no matter how conscious I am about it... but hey WABI SABI!

                                          Dude. The toe collapse is epic, the grain on the stovepipes is stoopid!

                                          I'll try to catch up once the snow hits the ground and takes my RCs out of rotation. But those are already fantastic.
