Grabbed the last pair of 9D
Hope I didn’t need the E but I never have before

I have never worn engineer boots before and now looking to get a pair of this.
Currently, My foot is about 25.5cmL and 10cmW. I'm wearing Redwing Beckman Flatbox in 8D but I still have a little bit tight in width (my pinkie) that makes me feel not really comfortable when using it in a long time.
Is it ok for me to get Mr.Lou in 8E? or should I go with 8.5E?

Looking ace @Pipeboss713 !!

[Smiladon]

@Oaktavia so the video was pretty boring. They popped right on, for the most part. The right one is a little tight on the top of the instep, but the left one goes right on, in a Good way. Still plenty of tightness with minimal slippage.

Same here, excellent boots. tough to break in that horse hide, but it will pay off soon

Sorry to hear the news. I mean congratulations! Haha. I wish I had mine at my wedding last year. Awesome boots

[Oaktavia]

haha thanks man

Sorry for the low quality photo. I was walking through the woods with my dogs the other day and when we got back I noticed a pretty big scratch as you can see in the photo. Do I need to do anything to protect the boot from tearing further? Or is this a normal occurrence form wear and tear?

[Giles]

Normal

Normal

Does anyone out there have a photo(s) of a super broken in pair? And does the black wear away to reveal brown underneath?

[Ghost-Cut]

I've seen a couple, that will eventually be some great patina. The brown will show through in areas all over the boots after a good amount of time. IMHO, I would definitely condition that spot, if not both boots entirely. Mine came super thirsty, but I wore them for a few weeks before conditioning with Saphir renovateur.
