Fantastic shape how long have you been wearing them? @mclaincausey
These engineers are on my Radar too, so nice -
Thanks @davito I think about 4.5 months. The tea core is starting to show through. The comfort on these is remarkable right out of the box and they have gotten better with age. I love everything about them.

Really great @mclaincausey
Ok those into sneakers hold your seats…camo duck hunter arrived today
I own some converse vintage pairs and a vintage vans made in USA. These beauties are outstanding quality and supercomfort on the feet, really like oldschool sneakers, fantastic. I went with my usual size 8 (26cm) which i wear in workboots and engineers, they fit me like the converse pairs i own in US7.5. but hei all feet are different, double check with the shop.
Go quick for these. I went for another one in navy

Might have to cop a backup pair…. those are ridiculous!
-
Don't see them on Speedway, where's the best place to order and what price do they sell for?

@FurattoHeddo send them an Email and ask, they go fast

Thanks D. Haven't had a chance to wear them much yet so I'm not sure about the degree to which the double soles will translate into more support. I've had trouble with plantar fasciitis from thin soled sneakers in the past and I think the extra support on these will eliminate that.
-
Ok mate i understand, yes most important your feet feel well. I have sensitive feet too and i only wear comfortable fits. This is also why i prefer vintage converse or the repro 70s over the standard cuts nowadays. And now a good pair of lofgrens
I think you'll be happy with them over long run @Chiba J. -
Engineer Evo update.
Quality evo on these, i love mine too, they've hardly been a day off my feet since i've gotten them.
Great to see the duck hunter sneaks updates, i'm expecting mine to arrive any day now.
Lovely combo with the yellow striped socks buddy @davito -
John Lofgren posted @vintage_engineer_boots amazing pair of black JL Engineers, which he took through an ancient ceremony recently.

Sneaks. They're super comfy and look great.
A couple of minor QC issues surprised me but nor bothered.
Soles not quite uniform at the toe.
There's were a few spots where neps in the fabric affected the camp dye, leaving tiny white spots when I brushed the neps off.
These are the observations of a nitpicker and I'm very pleased overall.
