Show us your boots

[derivative666]

@Giles not a fan ha!  I can understand the love for engineers. I just don't have it.

I like 'em. Engineers are my favorite boots for relaxing. They work great as a work boot too, but there's something about the one strap holding them on, and the ease of on/off that just screams lazy and relaxed.

You would not be saying that, if you saw the gymnastics I had to go through to get these on. Winchy was in tears…...

[derivative666]

High in-step?

From the next room it sounded like he was doing press-ups….

Jeff, yes I have a very high instep, we took that into account when building them, but not quite enough allowance was made.  Once on they are brilliant, they'll get better and easier, so no sweat…..

the leather on those boots looks gorgeous.  is horse always so waxy?  well at least it looks waxy from the images . .

[Giles]

All that I have seen, yes.

[tatmantall]

In my opinion Giles struggle with his engineers means a perfect fit. They should always be rough to get on at first and gradually get Better with break in. Again just my opinion YMMV, but this creates a great fit with a bit of wear which is what we love anyway.

A pair of engineers that doesn't give you a hernia to pull on is either ill-fitted or you have a weird foot.

Giles…your new boots are the bomb...what last are they? The toe looks nice.

[Giles]

Thanks.  2005, same as the Wild Ones will be lasted on…..

[Finn666]

width?

[Giles]

Think about it Finn, do you need to ask? My slabs of meat are E

[Finn666]

yes i had to…they look pretty "snug" so i thought you was going to say D

[Giles]

Perfect when I actually get my foot into them, so width is great…...

You and Tat are making me think that my Road Champs don't fit. They slip on no problem. I had to add a couple extra holes on the strap, but if they were any smaller I think my big toe would be jammed against the front of the boot. I'll keep rocking them. Might try adding a small insole.

@tigerpac:

The contrast of the black under the double stitching and the dark brown doesn't jive for me.  They look incredibly well made though.
