@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!!

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

@Mizmazzle thank you

@jimcasey
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

[jimcasey]

@Brian feeling your pain man.

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?

Truman in Dark Coyote Roughout. Looks can be deceiving. I always thought of rough out leathers as kind of a soft and flexible suede. WRONG! These are really stiff and taking a while to break in. I accept the challenge.

@TelemarkTumalo nice boots!!

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.

Lofgren boot porn. Could stare at shinki all night

@flannel-slut
awesome boots , have them too
by far the most sturdy boots I ever had. Around 60 days of wear, but still not really broken in.
tough as nails

Gave my Lofgren Ludlows a bit of love and a fresh set of laces

[Mizmazzle]

Speaking of fresh laces…

Upgraded to some Pisgah Range laces in my Pachena Bays.
