      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 😔

          Red Wing 8881. Super comfortable from the get go, no break in required. Also surprisingly water repellent as I learned yesterday.

            So many beautiful expensive boots here I thought I might lower the tone a little.

            No one sells decent engineers here in Australia, and with the exchange rate it becomes a bit of an expensive gamble buying without trying. So my default is the classic "Australian work boot".

            The bashed up pair is Blundstone. The fresher pair is Rossi (the better brand imo).

            Cheap, and bullet proof. I use mine for everything from bushwalking to going to the pub. Only downside really is that they are useless as motorcycle boots, as they slip off far too easily.

            They'll do until I finally get me some Wescos.

              @jimcasey that’s a tough scenario to be in. Don’t have any Red Wings? If you have your sizing down in Red Wings you can get a really solid idea of your correct size in other boots. Then you could feel a bit more comfortable taking a risk. Maybe on a used pair of something nicer you fancy…less risk. Then once you’re sizing is established you could really go hog wild!!

              In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

                It's more making sure that the shape of the last suits rather than size per se, if that makes sense? There's a joint in Melbourne that have imported Whites engineers in the past - hopefully they'll get some new stock at some point.

                Used is an option too. As is the cowboy route - I've always been partial to a decent pair of roper boots.

                  @jimcasey I had some RW ropers that I really liked...They were like some of my first proper boots and way too big for me haha. I felt silly flopping around in them and ended up selling them I think...but I def liked them, in theory haha

                        in the same boat, would love some engineers but nowhere in oz sells them and our dire exchange rate makes life harder, let alone sizing options, Adelaide doesnt have 1 decent shop front for anything at least sydney and melbourne have corlection and urahara

                          For what it's worth though, Corlection is a bit of a punish. I never shop there. As regards Sydney shops Blueworks is worth supporting. Lovely bloke and good selection of gear.

                          But otherwise, hit me up if you're in Sydney for a beer or two yeah?

                                            Rough out just reverses the hide to expose the nappy interior where suede splits or rubs the hide to form the nap—so it’s the latter that can have different characteristics than its smooth out counterpart.

                                            Think it, be it.
