      Gav, Engineer Boots are the ultimate chilling out boots. They even feel more relaxed than other boots, which takes a little getting used to. I've had my Engineers for about 3 years now and they're still my favorite boots.

        If I am going for a long winter walk down the beach, my engineers are my footwear of choice….

          I love cowboy boots, but my favorite slip on and go boot is the engineer. Perfect winter boots. Feckin around with laces is great in seasons where you don't have to get all Japanese with your footwear (removing it indoors).

          They look so damn cool.

          Think it, be it.

            In other news, and D has said the same, I'm really enjoying the lace to toe boots I've been seeing here.

            Think it, be it.

                    Thanks moonshine! I bet you know the time it takes to hand stitch.

                    Before:

                    This customer wanted to me to, relast on the 0-200 Last, tighten the shaft of the boots, replace straps and buckles, and resole them with Dr. Sole Raw Cord Full Sole.

                    After:

                    I installed the Classic Role Club Wing Straps that will be seen in my upcoming Role Club engineer boot release.

                      so when you say tighten the shaft on the boot; how the heck you do that?

                      great work, davito is the 1st person that mentioned your work to me & all the images of your exploits look great.

                      you just mentioned a boot you are doing?  more details please

                          I took the boot apart and cut off part of the shaft. Then I sewed the whole boot back together.

                          I am in the waiting process for the Horween horsehide. I don't have a specific release date. The engineer boots will come in chromexcel horsehide or Steerhide. I found a source of quality brass roller buckles that are coming in from Japan. The boots will be handmade by me from start to finish. So each boot will be made to order.

                                  Almost makes me want to get into cobbling. At the very least I could repair my own shoes.

                                        perfect.

                                        wouldn't change anything on them, brass hardware really does wonders to highlight the color of that boot.

                                        i got plans for you Brian  😞
