Show us your boots

@j6550 they're Wesco Mr Lou made for The Shop Vancouver. I lucked out and got them second hand here on the forum. There are a few sizes available ATM if you're lucky. Amd don't mind tariffs
-
These are so good. I think I got them right before the tariffs hit, but for the next two pairs from TJ, I paid tariffs on one($30)and not the other.
️ Just had to pay an extra $130 on the IHG Morrison boots.

@CosmoSix5 I'm surprised about the tariffs bc I thought if the product originated from this side a tariff wouldn't apply. Unless we're paying the tariff back that applied to the boots going there.
-
To my understanding you’d be paying the tariff back that applied to the goods going there.

@CosmoSix5 These are beautiful. Man, if I could find these in 3E! Always jealous of slim footed folks who can find second hand options much easier. Those are just gorgeous!

Perhaps this is a good place for this discussion (or, if not, please let me know the better thread for it); other engineer boots and their fit.
I’m curious how the different boot manufacturer's engineers fit. Mainly, everything but Wesco.
And here’s why; I’m preparing for the possibility that my custom engineers they built for me aren’t going to work and will be sold or returned. The short of it is that while I’ve long lusted for a pair of Mr Lous - they simply don’t fit my feet. I couldn’t get my foot into the boots the few times I tried so Chris at Wesco suggested a custom build. So we did and I posted them recently, up-thread. But after several years, they never really broke in and the heels slip badly, to the point of blisters.
So, I’m curious how the other popular makes of engineer boots fit. To a finer point, I’m blessed (or cursed?) with a wide forefoot, and a high and boney instep. Basically, a foot shape not great for engineers. The kicker though is that I’ve found several cowboy boots manufacturers that fit great, so it’s possible.
Which makers or models would you suggest I check out?
