Role Club By Brian the Bootmaker
-
I’ll chime in on the questions and say no/no/no, but I do use a boot jack just because they’re really convenient. I have a pair of made to measure Role Clubs and two pairs of Mr Lou’s, one in size 12 and one 12.5. IIRC my Brannock size is probably a 13.5, which is why 12.5 seems to be be the most ideal fit for me in Wesco. 12 is doable — a little snug on the top of my foot — but I can get them off and on with no problem / no unbuckling.
The reason I offer all this up is that my first pair of engineers were Lofgrens in 12. I really needed a bigger size, but that was the biggest they made, and they were positively murderous to deal with for a while. I had them stretched by a cobbler twice, and even after breaking them in I still had a really hard time getting one of them on (I have high insteps but my right foot is higher). Thankfully I got past having to use the plastic bag, but once I got a pair that actually fit, I couldn’t sell them fast enough. They were killer boots and I still love the way the Lofgren engineers look, but they were just too small. This is all to say that if anybody runs into that whole mess, just size up if possible and make your life easier.

And we’re back to black.
There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die. - R. Duke

@Tyler-Durden They’re. Beautiful. 🥵
Thank you man! As much as I love my Navy CXL. I can’t keep pretending I don’t always want a black pair.

@ZackB
yes I’ve seen them . But to be honest it’s too expensive, at least for my taste.
