What a nightmare ::) I hate waiting.
Specially when I don’t know if something fits -

Love you olive ones too, such a great color! -
Man those look great!!! I was really tempted by those but I've got too many boots at the moment and had to have a come to Jesus. I really, really love my M43s, probably my most comfortable pair of boots. Looking forward to seeing how yours break in!
-
Haha yes, I feel you on that — I've had similar experiences trying to give my boots any real wear during my cushy at-home working situation
-
The black cats are the most comfortable boots right out of the box I've ever worn. Like slippers.
Just ordered the Shinki HH combat boots in black tea core from Stuf|f Fine Goods out of Germany. Very excited to see them in person

Well….. Thoughts?
They are beauties. Did they happen to come with black laces as well? I'm thinking I'll be putting black leather laces on mine.

Yep they are… Shinki. Horsebutt. Tea Core… probably the most amazing leather available. Didn’t like the brown leather laces too and changed to black nylon laces. This leather is really something else, can’t wait to see how it will age. By the way when it comes to comfort their desert boots are like walking on clouds

I'm excited for my pair to be delivered. Looking like it'll be a bit though. Stuck in Koeln, Germany….. Which based on a Reddit thing is a recent problem for a number of people. So I guess I'll see them in person in a few weeks maybe....
-
Lofgrens Engineers finally showed up… they fit great. I was really nervous about the sizing on these. For anyone curious about sizing I had the opposite experience as @Daniel San They are super hard for me to get on but once I do they fit great! I went down a half size from my redwing size. Super comfortable! Special thank you to @VoodooRay for a great price on a great boot!!
-
Boots look great! My experience is the same. Half size down from Red Wing. Used a plastic bag to get them on the first few weeks but once they are on the fit is perfect.
-
These are my first pair of engineers. Im surprised how comfortable boots are without laces and extra leather pushing on the top of my foot… they are so comfortable! The last must be a good fit for the shape of my foot. @BloodnThunder I know you have the devils causeway engineers (super jealous by the way) but do you also have a cxl pair? Curious if the sizing is the same? I’m gonna find a pair of those causeways sooner or later

@Memphisakers
Hey Josh, great news really happy for you that they fit !
I feel good in my 9.5 too, try to wear them as often as possible.
I think I didn’t mentioned before, the are not that easy to put on like the size 9 ones
The left foot is pretty easy, but the right food needs a bit more effort
no need for a plastic bag but a significant difference to the left boot..and absolutely not comparable to the sneaker like size 9‘s .
I will go for the donkey punchers next….

What leather care do you use for Lofgren CXL ?
I found a special cxl care from Saphire , has someone ever used it?
any recommendations ? -
I think Nick Horween said you don’t need to do much but that if it gets dry to treat CXL with neatsfoot oil. Be sure to keep oil away from the outsole and heel where it can compromise the inter-layered glue. @Daniel San
-
I use Venetian Shoe Cream once a year and that regimen has served me well. VSC is what Horween uses when they finish CXL. Also it gives them a low gloss shine after brushing that I think looks fantastic, but I like to keep my boots clean and brushed on a regular basis
