      yes, I've been in touch.  he's a great guy, but i understand he has to make a profit - just not enough demand right now.  maybe as the brand gets more exposure he'll consider it.  in the mean time i have plenty of boots to wear  🙂 and i will lurk on this thread and live vicariously through others…

        Lofgren boots and vest today. This vest is in my sale thread if anyone wants to make an offer. It's super nice but I shouldn't have sized up.

        Think it, be it.

                Unfortunately I didn't make these mine…. I just picked up the speedway piques from mister freedom and I figured I should check these out. That being said, when I get engineers, it's highly likely they'll be the lofgrens...my foot snapped into the boot and they felt really amazing.

                For anyone who is on the fence size wise, I am a true 9.5 (left foot is a tad shorter though) and the 9s I tried felt amazing. I might want to try an 8.5 just to make sure, but they'd probably be too tight.

                                Guys, I'm not wanting to break any forum rules, but don't want to make this into a marketplace post yet because it's still a little while off. Anyway, I've got a brand new pair of JLs in Badalassi Cognac coming in size 12 that I will sell for considerably less than you can buy a new pair. PM me.

                                    No my first pair had a leather flaw. I wasn't that concerned about it, but Mushmans offered to replace them. Planning to sell the new pair and go for a pair of John's logger boots (while I wait for him to release the engineers in Natty cxl).

                                        Did some maintenance on these in preparation for beating the bejesus out of them in New Orleans. Like new again.

                                          Ben, may I know how will you go with sizing on the engineers? Ive read that they tend to come 1 size bigger. So If Im in between sizes 10US and 9US should I go with a 9?

                                          Thanks

                                            I believe that they are around an e width (to accommodate the Japanese foot), so I think that if you are a d width you should size down half. I'm a true 9.5 and the 9s slipped on like a glove in 5 seconds. That said, I'm going to try on an 8.5 just to be safe. I'll let you know…
