My sneaks landed at a friend's house today (I had no address yet when I bought them), pics tomorrow.

[Chiba J.]

Mine just showed up 5 minutes ago.

Fit is great, and I'd say true to size. The double soles make these noticeably heavier than similar sneakers I've owned. Not sure yet, but I'm hoping this will mean more support too.

[davito]

Yeah @Chiba J. Looks great. About what you are not sure yet? I hope you can enjoy them

[Chiba J.]

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.

@mclaincausey:

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.

Nice pickup, mcl. I saw these at SELA today. They are too good!
