          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…

                                        I wear a 9.5, but could have gotten a 9. (Also a US9.5D). The 9.5 lets me put nice thick gel insoles in there though so  it's all good.

                                        Think it, be it.

                                          ^^Same here. I'm a 12 and have the JL engineers in 12. Probably could have gone with 11.5, but the 12 fits fine and allows me to put in my Superfeet 3/4 inserts for more heel cup and support, which I really need. I'd say stick with your true size and get a (custom) insole and some nice thick boots socks.

                                            Thanks guys. Meaning I should go with 9 if want a snug fitting or go with 9.5 if wanting a bit of room. hihi.. Ordering online for a boot is not at all pleasing.
