Biltbuck Lot 444 by Attraction
-
@Daniel-San so beautiful. I am still considering a pair of engineers and am between these, the lofgrens and zerrows. Can you compare to any of them? My concern is mostly that I can't stand too lose fitting shoes and a lot of heelslip and have small calves so the shaft may be too wobbly...

hey mate
I have the 444 the Lofgrens and Y2 engineers, so that might be helpful.
The 444 have the widest shaft and most heelslip compared to the others. The Lofgren have the narrowest shaft and little heelslip. The Y2 have a little smaller shaft than the 444 and have just a little heelslip if at all. But from my experience it’s gets better when they break in and the leather gets softer. If you want a super comfortable enginner from the beginning you should grab the Y2 , great soft leather ! If you want a narrow shaft to wear with tapered 777 or slim 555 jeans I think the Lofgren would be the way to go.
You can’t go wrong with the quality, they all are awesome boots for sure !! Haven’t had Zerrows personally so far, but as heard from other aficionados they are great as well .
In the end you have try cause it can all change with the shape of your feet
and socks you wear and so on.
Hope this helps a little -
Thanks a lot @Daniel-San ! Very helpful. I lean towards Lofgrens because I mostly wear 555 and 777 as you mentioned. But will check out Y2! Did you size the Lofgrens like your Iron Rangers ?

@Daniel-San I think Jamie is my best option If Burg&Schild don't have them in stock the next time. But I'm in no rush. Already overspending

-
the fantastic horsebutt leather gets more and more character, phenomenal grain 🥰
-
they got some care today, light was not so good for pictures but I think the awesome grain is visible though. they look much darker than they are.

restock at Eastwestapparel !!
black and brown available in some sizes,
and Lot 269 steerhide available too
just ordered the 269 🥳 -
I cannot make the Mr Lou fit. Very flat toe box and if sized for appropriate toe box fit, then the heel slip becomes insane. The Lot444 are like Neil from S&S said formed like a sleek race car and wrap around your heel and foot. Way more shape and they fit very very well. I am a 12.5C on a Brannock and wear the Lot444 in 11.5D. (same size in Mr Lou)

I have Black Horsehide Mister Lous in an 11 and Brown Horsehide Attractions 444 in an 11. The Attractions fits much better for me, more room in the arch, more room in the toebox. The horsehide on the 444 is milles better than the Wescos. I think the Wescos use a CXL horsehide. I also have a new pair of Attractions 269 in black steerhide and they are noticeably thinner leather than the 444 horsehide and the last is different, harder to get on, but feel like they have more room in the toebox than the 444s.

@smittybat I have a pair of Wesco MR Lou in Maryam Horsehide leather (as you said they also produce in Horween CXL) and a pair of lot.444, they are also in Maryam Horsehide but as you said they are very different in shape. The leather, even though they are from the same Tuscan tannery, is treated differently. The leather of the lot 444 is less tenacious and dyed more on the surface, the Teacore effect is extremely faster and more beautiful in my opinion. Between the two, the lot 444 are definitely much more comfortable and roomy and are my favorite (I wear a size 9 in both but for the lot 444 I would probably have gotten by with an 8.5.

Recieved my 269s this, but only got to wear them for a few hours. Some comparison photos between 269 and 444 and Mr Lou Black HH.
