Just saw these over at HypeBeast & figured it might give us mere mortals a bit of insight into what is possible:

those black boots look too hip. Maybe for some trendy hipster, but definately not my cup of coffee.

Rugged…wasn't that the word

Bullhide is pretty damn rugged, actually.

Whether they're "hipster" or not, I don't know, but I'm fairly certain they're going to be tough boots.

Brett Viberg is making me a pair of those pull-ups right now with a single layer leather sole.

I stand corrected…but they still look like something out of catwalk. (to my biker eye)

Just ordered me a pair of the black ones, super excited to see how these will match with my super black riders jacket 

Btw. thanks a million for the tip, Jii!

No problemo! The black ones looked super nice too, but I have a thing for tan..

@monday:

Those black engineers look damn tasty!

I just got these and they're perfect sizewise. There's no other size tags other than uk12 (probably Oki-Ni:s own tag) on the box and a 12 stamped inside the boot so I really can't tell what US(?) size they are. They're definitely larger than my UK11/US12 RW 875s so these will fit an insole no problem. I'd say these are pretty much similarly sized as the Timberland 6" premium boot in size US 12.

I'm happy to say I'm extremely (positively) overwhelmed by the quality of craftmanship put into these boots. The leather's  :-*, the finishing is top notch and these look good as FxxK worn. I really hope these will hold up for a long time, I already have a couple of resole plans figured out over time  But first I'm going to start working on this bad ass wedge sole. Oh and did I say that I feel like a badass with these on… 

More than happy with this purchase! And shipping took less than 48 hrs as well. Crazy.
