Show us your boots

[Bluegrass]

VEB commented about some Attractions Roper Boots, which were well-crafted and unique - not my cup of tea - but I had no idea they made a Engineer boot - which I think are very cool.  Roper Boots: http://vintageengineerboots.blogspot.com/search?q=attractions

i guess the furry ones will look great once worn.

I dont understand the ring on the front/top of the shaft?  ???

would become handy if you need to be chained somewhere.

Those Roper Boots are too out there for my taste, but the engineers are great. I'm still breaking them in so they kind of hurt my feet, but hoping that will go away with more wear.

@trail:

They were originally developed for children, so that makes perfect sense 

[Bluegrass]

And they look like children's boots.  I'm sure they can be sported by someone, who has the right amount of charisma and style, without looking silly - but certainly not me!

But Fuzz, those horsebutts are just badass.

Thanks @Bluegrass I love them! I just wish they would stop rubbing the tops of my big toes!

they really are great man. i wouldn't worry about the rubbing unless they are too short. my rc's and julians both did that but went away. the rc's were too short or i would still have them

@Bluegrass nice boots, what is the size?

[superfuzz]

Thanks @illumin8em the fit is perfect they're just rubbing the tops of my big toes for some reason, especially the right foot. I assume it will go away with some wear. I haven't been able to wear them much since it's been so warm, but they should get a lot of wear in the coming months!

Gorgeous boots there Chiba J.

[Bluegrass]

Agree, Chiba those are really special.

@Chiba J. is it the same soft CXL as the engineers? It looks like it may be a bit firmer (how I think I can tell that is anyone's guess).

[Chiba J.]

I've never actually handled the CXL engineers, but I think this is the same stuff.

I think what you're seeing is just that this is a more complexly structured boot than the engineers and thus less prone to all the bending and creasing.

One thing you can't see in photos is the very nice deerskin lining.

Well damn, please do share!! You are obviously dealing with a bunch of boot geeks in a "show us your boots" thread…
