Stunning engineers everyone. It's great to see the variety. One day I'll pull the trigger.
Found a close out deal on some RW 8143 Slate blue abiline rough out. Well over 50% off. I talked my Nike wearing coworker into buying a pair as well. He had his eye on black then bought the exact pair as me since black sold out.
I treated them with LP to darken them up so they are not exactly the same.

Liking the dubbing on there. Food for thought for all suede and rough outs, especially if you want to brave the elements in them.
-
Nice!
-
God I love those boots…
-
Yep, same crew I was thinking of–thanks!
kiya just posted on instagram they're gonna be stocking a few ace styles soon
-
Those look insanely comfortable
I have the same boot - and uggggh, for me not so comfortable at first - but they get better - initially it was like strapping boards to your feet - i.e. compared to White's there is no arch support. But after wearing them a lot, I like them a lot.
-
are there any pics of the ace engineers online, except the himels as I have seen those? my ears and interests have perked. (reaches for wallet)

Blue - oh wow that's interesting. I feel like my White's were boards with bumps for the arches at first but after some battles they've gotten just wonderful
Lov'em now - I have the Sage-Mohave rough out from a few years ago… nice score especially on sale, that's rare. Awhile back someone told me Urban Outfitters of all places had RWs on sale 1/2 price, online only - but I resisted.
Also I checked for Ace Boots on the web, found their site, but no good pics.

I'm FB friends with them + Himel, so I can't tell if these will work otherwise, but:
That one's cool, the next ones I like less:

Love the grain and all, otherwise not a huge fan of this model at least. I like a bigger heel stack and for the outsole to protrude more…

EDIT: Adding more as I find them... Don't dig the elf shoe last here:

I have assumed that they do manufacture in Cali. It looks like Zip is buddies with them on the 'book, unsure if they get their (nice-looking) roller buckles from him or vice-versa but it wouldn't surprise me. Indeed, I wonder if they are cobblering for him in general. Tatman, they may have been the ones to beautify your boots.
no prob we take a drink then
