Biltbuck Lot 444 by Attraction

[mecken88]

Yeah sizing in new boots is always a gamble. I have size 7.5 in my Iron Rangers, always 8,5 in VANS sneakers with 26,5cm.

But I have 8D in both my Wesco engineer boots. The Attraction 444 is on the bucket list for me too, but sizing is always a bit scary when trying a new brand.

But the lot 444 seams to have wider toe box then the Mr Lou is that correct..?

@Daniel-San thanks for the honest feedback - greatly appreciated.

@mecken88
I can’t compare with the Wescos, sorry !
The 444 look pretty sleek but have good overall volume for the feet. Getting in and out is struggle free, at least for me.
The only thing is the break in which is quite challenging for most guys. The leather is outstanding ,but thick and stiff, so it needs a little to get comfortable.
I would recommend the same size as your Iron Rangers .

@Daniel-San gorgeous boots - very tempting.

@John-Galt
after the first hours in , I can say that these run a little smaller than the other ones I have. They are overall a little tighter, so if you are in between two sizes you might think of sizing up.
But of course this could be different with every single pair as they are handmade and little tolerances are usual as we all know.

For me these are the best fitting ones so far , yes they are pretty tight fitting but the result is absolutely zero heel slip. As always I start with the thinnest socks I have and slowly use thicker ones during the break in progress.
to be more precise, I don’t wear socks in my engineers anymore. I changed to knee high socks or are they called stockings ?
Much more comfortable way to wear engineers from my experience.

@Daniel-San thank you much for the feedback and advice - they look great

@John-Galt
they are absolutely awesome and they will get a wonderful patina with time and wear.
But I need to find a matching leather jacket now as I only have black ones

[John Galt]

@Daniel-San the rabbit hole gets deeper. Looking forward to seeing the jacket you go with.
