Show us your boots

Cool! I'm set on engineers for a while but I will be following along with interest. The Ace engineers I've seen don't have lasts that speak to me, but I did find some other boots of theirs I loved. Here's a Himel collab I think is pretty rad, and I don't usually dig two tones other than oxfords or sneakers:

Right? The anxiety waiting for boots that may or may not work is kind of frustrating. A lot of that in my life these days
But when it works out, the journey is worth the prize:
-
Oh no it's CXL, you'd be lucky if it didn't disintegrate in shipment
The Motor engineers are steerhide. I think they'd age spectacularly. If you follow the link below, then click on "aging" (エイジング) (second from the bottom in the left hand column), then click on a shoe or boot, you'll see some nice examples of well worn Moto footwear. I seriously wish they made the cowhide pecos in my size…..

Lots of leather for one, but I don't really know…
-
CXL is for hippies.

more pictures…
really nice...also similar with the RRL´s one.
who is the Ace boots maker?
can it be Julian?
someone know more about it?I think a Japanese guy runs Ace.
And it was mentioned somewhere that the boots are manufactured in the same workshop as Julian's.
That's just what I read. Can't remember where. But they look very similar. -

I just love these boots - if John in fact makes some in 12.5 or 13 I will jump in. They are REALLY nice - even if they are made of CXL.
-
They are extremely comfy on the feet as well. Loooooove em.
-
Don't listen to the hype… The cxl is fine, I really like it on this boot, especially the cxl Spec'd for this boot...

Himel posted these on Facebook

holy crap 
-
It's not my favorite profile. Don't like the heel, last, or outsole. Even so, I love a worn pair of boots.
-
I wasn't big on them fresh out the box but they look amazing worn in IMO
-
Yeah I love the leather and its grain and how the tanning fades. I just don't dig the bulbous toe look and the short heel stack mainly. Still great looking boots just not my ideal.
-
I hear ya… Normally I'm not about the bulbous toe either but I wouldn't mind having at least one pair and as of now those are the best ones I've seen on the market, they arent TOO over the top... deginetly walk that line well.
that and i have three high end pairs with collapsing toes, and two other pairs to be rebuilt so a little bit of a change wouldn't be bad either
