      Damn T, you know a lot about boots.  Thanks for sharing.  Very interesting.

      I am agreeing with snowy and SF though that I sure cant see or feel anything in the toes of my RC boot but leather.  Full day 2 of wear and they are feeling better by a factor of 2 - heel slip barely noticeable and toes still softening up.

      You can see the toe tracks a little better on the right boot here…

        @Bluegrass:

        Damn T, you know a minute amount  of the readily available information with regards to engineer  boots.

        fixed this for you to more accurately reflect the extent my knowledge. 😉

        Chris has a lot of great information on cowboy boots as well, he was kind enough to share an incredible amount of his information with me a few months ago. We all have our little niches, but engineer boots are actually what sparked my interest in cowboy boots.

          I applied mink oil on it last night. Can't wait to wear it later!

            How are they breaking in for you, Snowy?

            Feeling good mate. Loosening up tons in all the right areas. 2 full days, 2 evenings. May have to add a 5th notch on the strap, but so far have not had any issues with the slippage. Feel like a million bucks strutting in these bad boys.

                          ^^ Thanks guys. Badalassi has turned out to be a lot tougher than I initially thought.

                          I haven't applied anything to them yet. Thinking about it though…...

                            I read somewhere that the Baldalassi people say they don't need anything

                              Yeah I think I posted that. That's what I heard from Fujita at Mushmans, who heard it from Mr. Badalassi. Still thinking about putting something on though…...

                                A quick shot of my new daily beaters for work.  Thanks to Snowy, Mclaincausey and TMG for their advice.  I ended up getting the dynamic flex comfort version of these boots which are extremely comfortable.  Hoping that these last me many, many years…

                                  Very nice! Am sure they'll treat you well. They have a nice faint toe-track on them too IIRC :).

                                      Weird sizing.  I'm a 7G in RM, an 8 in RW and an 8 (26.0 cm) in Japanese boots.  I was very glad I could try these on in the store before buying.  The other thing is, because they're chelsea boots, they've got to be tight when you buy them because the leather stretches a little, but not too tight that they're uncomfortable.

                                        Thanks man, I'm probably a weirdo but I like my boots as tight as I can get them in all directions. It just feels better to me as long as my toe is just touching the end and the Instep is stretched tight across my foot with the heel locked down…. Probably not good for my feet but whatever

                                          Wow, those Lofgren Badalassi engineers look so great! I wasn't sold on the color when new but worn in they look amazing. I bet this guy who died his pair wishes he'd just left good enough alone! http://vintageengineerboots.blogspot.com/2013/05/reader-mail_22.html

                                            yeah…. I would say for a number of reasons he regrets that decision.
