I'm not all that into burgundy, but for some reason the shade really seems to suit the boot IMO. Had the chance to see these back in December and I was even more impressed in person, and it was the up close and personal view that swayed me to the color. Anyone know if "Bordeaux" is a different shade of CXL than the usual burgundy?

Japanese horsehide lining, CXL, American brass hardware, oak tanned heel and sole, American vibram outsole and heel, English storm welting, Japanese construction. Like his engineer, a very global boot. You have to admire the dedication and his eye for design.

great boot Chiba.
would be all in if not for the curved/tappered heel (forgive me boot terminology is not my strong suit), i tried wearing a pair of white's with that kind of heel & i could just never get used to it. i loved looking at them cause they were a work of art, but in the end i just sold them away.
i fear i would do the same if i bought these . . .
-
the feel, but it might have just been a mental thing . . . . which isn't hard to imagine if you take a look at me :O)
so many people swear by this kind of sole, it can't be a bad thing . . . it just didn't work for me. i also think it's kind of danty looking & reminds me of a woman's heel, but again it's my own madness that's swaying me on this.
those boots look the bizness & will serve their owners well
-
I just noticed the stitching on the back going down towards the heel counter, how it spreads out as it approaches the counter…. So damn sexy...

Dude THEY came on to ME!

Haa you dirty pig!!

I think he needs 5 or so orders to justify a new last.

yes, I've been in touch. he's a great guy, but i understand he has to make a profit - just not enough demand right now. maybe as the brand gets more exposure he'll consider it. in the mean time i have plenty of boots to wear
and i will lurk on this thread and live vicariously through others… -
Lofgren boots and vest today. This vest is in my sale thread if anyone wants to make an offer. It's super nice but I shouldn't have sized up.
-
These are real fucking nice
-
So happy your got them and appreciate them, they fantastic.
-
Unfortunately I didn't make these mine…. I just picked up the speedway piques from mister freedom and I figured I should check these out. That being said, when I get engineers, it's highly likely they'll be the lofgrens...my foot snapped into the boot and they felt really amazing.
For anyone who is on the fence size wise, I am a true 9.5 (left foot is a tad shorter though) and the 9s I tried felt amazing. I might want to try an 8.5 just to make sure, but they'd probably be too tight.
