  • RE: Role Club By Brian the Bootmaker

    @Tyler-Durden
    I have a really hard time getting my foot into many engineers especially my right foot which is slightly larger than my left. The plastic bag trick does work but I've found using a ski boot shoe horn is a better solution long term solution and I can get the boots on in seconds instead of minutes. If you google "ski boot shoe horn" the red one is what I use. It has saved me so much trouble in getting engineers on and a boot jack is necessary for getting them off without struggling for minutes. In fact using the ski boot shoe horn has opened up a lot of engineers that I previously just couldn't get my feet into and I can buy boots that fit me better instead of sizing up and getting a sloppy fit everywhere else.

  • RE: Biltbuck Lot 444 by Attraction

    Recieved my 269s this, but only got to wear them for a few hours. Some comparison photos between 269 and 444 and Mr Lou Black HH.

  • RE: Biltbuck Lot 444 by Attraction

    I have Black Horsehide Mister Lous in an 11 and Brown Horsehide Attractions 444 in an 11. The Attractions fits much better for me, more room in the arch, more room in the toebox. The horsehide on the 444 is milles better than the Wescos. I think the Wescos use a CXL horsehide. I also have a new pair of Attractions 269 in black steerhide and they are noticeably thinner leather than the 444 horsehide and the last is different, harder to get on, but feel like they have more room in the toebox than the 444s.

  • RE: Show us your boots

    About to say goodbye to these.  They need a new home who'll give them more attention.

  • RE: White's Boots

    The straps on the nomads are wider than most engineers, not sure if most would fit.

    No they probably haven't updated all the boots with all the leathers.  Email Kyle at orders@bakershoe.com and ask him if it's available.He usually responds quick and he humors our crazy requests.

    John is very responsive to customer requests.  He made larger sizes of his engineer boots when enough people requested them.  He might do the same with his other products.

  • RE: WAYWT - Shoes/Boots Edition!

    These are Hoggs Rannoch boots with veldtschoen construction.  They are said to be made by Cheaney.  Really liking these so far, construction is great and they're comfortable.

    My favorite version of Pancho and Lefty.  Townes imparted something in his music that just can't be described.

    Try using moleskin on the hot spot until the leather softens naturally.
