Show us your boots

@Jordan23:

BTM (Brian?) what are the specs of your upcoming engineers and when will these come? Thx., Andi.

Enjoy ya addiction!

The engineer boots I will be releasing will come in Horween Chromexcel Horsehide in black and brown. I will release 2 other color ways in Horween Steerhide as well. I am still deciding on the color way. They will come with solid brass roller buckles. The last I have been shaping will come in a flat toe shape. The boots will be made to order and handmade by me. So if you send me your measurements the boot will made specifically for you. I welt all my boots by hand which will give the boot a long life. Quality and style is my priority.

Those are looking well loved. How would you rate your Wesco experience G? I'm a big fan so I always like hearing feedback from others.

[Giles]

I love them.  No more and no less that my Vibergs.  They are both outstandingly built.

These are slightly too big for me, so they sit by the back door.  They can be slipped on and off with great ease.  I effectively use them as wellington boots, so they see a lot of shit…..

Yep same here.. They're both built to last. Sometimes I feel like my wesco's leather is much more harder to break in.

The forum has inspired a couple posts from me today. This one, and a (G inspired) WAYWT. I had typed up a nice long story about how I came to these, but alas a 3 year old will ruin that for you. I highly recommend checking this company out. No one produces a boot for the money that compares, trust me I have owned something in the brand for over a dozen years and put them through hardships most boots only have nightmares about. Don't let my cowboy love sway you either, they have something for everyone, and at a starting price of around $200 USD. One warning, these are Canadian and sizing runs a bit off. My typical 11D US is a 10.5E in this make, my step-dads 9.5E US is a 9EE, and so on. Without further ado, easily my favorite boot company….

Boulet Boots

http://www.bouletboots.com/index.php?page=46&MainCategoryID=1

I have had 4 pair of these in a dozen years (2 sold, 1 ate by dog) these are my current. If anyone has questions about other models, how they're made, what I have put other pairs through etc, feel free. If you over look this brand you really missing out...

Aztec oiled shoulder vamp, brushed kid leather uppers, army midsole, double stitched welt, reinforced roughstock heel, as pretty as they are they mean business.

The deep and wide heel base make these super comfortable without ever having to worry about footing.

Those double stitches prevent the leather sole from peeling

Leather lined and a sewn in insole

A vanity shot sure, but I love that toe box.

Nice, I love cowboy boots.

I haven't worn my Mister Freedom Road Champs since snow started falling. They have Takeshi's triple soles, which I wanted to protect. But because they have triple soles, they can handle a little snow. So I broke down and Obenauf'd the soles. It feels so good to wear these things again, I missed them so much.

[davito]

Good choice wearing them

[jdl1279]

Mclain,

Me too, was a sad day when I realized I couldn't live in a pair anymore. Until a few years ago I had 13 pair that got rotated through, one for about every need. Since my back won't allow it anymore, I sold all but two pair. It gave me a reason to buy a few more pair of shoes though, as I really didn't have any to speak of. I like your Wellingtons too, can't say I have anything like it anymore. If you worry that much about the soles though, doubt you will ever wear them out.

[mclaincausey]

Thanks much, these are actually Engineer boots, version 1 of this http://www.misterfreedom.com/road-champs.html that have been resoled to a triple leather sole by this guy: http://hukurokuju.com/blog/ The resole changed the shape of the toe a bit.

I do have some black cowboy boots by Nocona that I love.

[jdl1279]

Gotcha, can't see the straps in the original pics. Nice anyway. Nocona used to make a solid boot, as did Justin and most other major manufacturers. Sadly quality western boots have went the way of quality anything these days.
