Show us your boots

@Daniel-San Such great engineers! I have the Attractions x S&S Lot 444 which has the brass hardware, Vibram 705 half sole and a collab in-sole. I found mine unworn at a consignment shop for 1/3 the retail price. They have filled the engineer boot void until I can pull the trigger on my grailed pair of Role Club engineers.
-
@Luijim78 How do the Lot. 444 compare to the Role Club's in your opinion?
-
@mvttryvn apart from the price and waiting times, they are both wonderful, first of all the leather is very different, the vegetable tanned one, lot.444 are much more rigid and more difficult to break (even if they are slippers compared to the Wesco Mr.Lou of Black Maryam ), are much shinier and smoother to the touch, in Role Club in Horween CXL they are comfortable from day one, very very easy to patinate (the first brown and tea shades appear after a week or ten days of normal use ). The roles are slightly smaller. They are both considered high end and the finishes are very refined, I prefer the Role perhaps because I wanted them so much but they are both very high end boots. Forgive the horrible and repetitive photos, I just realized that I posted them a few days ago) I'm getting older, sorry

@Luijim78 thanks for the reply! I have followed Brian's work for a long time and lusted over both his Engineers and Underdog's. I absolutely love my Lot. 444's and have really enjoyed breaking them in and seeing the tea core come through, they are definitely an unforgiving leather haha. Eventually I would like to head down to L.A. to get sized and order up some natural veg tan Role Club engineers, but that won't be anytime soon, so for now I am going to enjoy watching the Attractions pair come into their own.

Role Club is hard to beat. I am set on engineers but his are my favorite. I have some oxfords of his that are great.

ordered the Biltbucks 444 in brown
as I already have the Lofgren engineers in black shinki , I decided to go for the brown ones first.
love the brown horse butt leather
-
These were my wedding shoes and they're my only pair of no-hiking boots. The Wolverine 1k Mile Boots don't seem to get much love online but I like them quite a lot.
-
@Daniel-San excellent choice, they are really wonderful compliments
-
@Luijim78
hope the fit is working for me , but normally they should be ok.
keep you updated, guess they arrive by end of the week
-
One of those days 🥱

Redwing 3190 Chelsea Boots. Super comfortable and starting to age beautifully.

@oldsoulguy56 great photo!

-
@LawDawgLSU some more Western boots, love it!
-
@Dmart they would probably look a bit better with 634s instead of my 666s, but the 666s fit better everywhere else
-
@LawDawgLSU I think it looks good. I like to wear mine with the 666 and the 634 cut but it depends on the size and the hem obviously. If you are really slim, it could be too tight with the 666.
-
@LawDawgLSU personally I prefer 666 for boots. I find that wider hems can get stuck on the top of the boot shaft.
And hotty damn toddy
-
in my opinion they look great especially with the 666, the 634 are a little too wide in the knee in my opinion, personally I wear or try to do so, engineer boots everywhere and with any cut, I love them too much but often (particularly in my size) it's truly an epic undertaking to get them in
