So there should be plenty of interest.

It's all a matter of taste & purview, right ?!
Cuz no one's got absolute monopoly on steez … [emoji482]Absolutely. Each to his own. Good idea to mention it here despite the reactions, mine included.

SHIT, MY BRAIN HURTS

Going to have to agree, regardless of color I'm not a fan of the style/look of the boot.

@BloodnThunder
Thanx for the honest opinion.
We always have a choice__ to ignore or engage. I can take neg criticisms, but I push back on unwarranted nasty close-ended comments that are solely meant to insult & disparage … talk about "behaving horribly". -
No worries @BrownIcon. To be fair it's not that particular boot either. Different strokes for different folks, I just happen to have always disliked the look of basically any boot with a wedge style sole.

That boot brings out the worst in me. But don't worry, I'll stick to the Beer section on StyleForum

Never thought I'd own a pair of Engineers just cuz I dint feel I can pull off that sorta steez … & now i got 2pairs.
Styleforum GMTO is a great way to get some jawns that're more rare/unique than a limited edition. This year, I thought I'd venture out of my comfort zone [again], as I did w/ the Trickers Allan Teak Cordo & Viberg Tobacco Chamois "Hopper" … w/c was my very 1st engineers ... only this time, I'd like to contribute & be a part of the creative process.
Inspired by Kyle Reese's (Michael Biehn) BlackTrench X BlackNike hi-tops from the first Terminator movie__ 'thought I'd treat the **Scout**s to a stealthy, more nimble, "hit-the-ground-running" kinda cross-utility urban trekker fit for a NYcity-dweller.

i saw them on your instagram. to be honest, the black was what made the decision for me. SF had great GMTO especially with trickers and alden in the past i think..

@louisbosco
Hey, man! FOK updated possible leather substitute__ Scotch Grain Print Horse Butt (Italy) & cuz of the thickness, it can be done on stitchdown. So far, got 2 SuFu peeps interested, pending actual price quote. -
thanks. sorry if i wasn't clear. what i meant was the all black kinda made me not wanna get it. not too sure how i'd feel of a full black boots personally right now.
️ Well, as the saying goes … can't sell puss* to Bruce Jenner.
