The cheapest chinese engineers.
Crush on Retro 501s in cxl and brown leather midsoles with soft unstructured toe.
I bought some other one's on their site with green dr. soles, but it didn't meet QC for them, so they offered up their 501s which I took up because they look like a certain japanese brand that I have no personal handle in, but with an insole...these are pretty sturdy boots for the price.
These are my second pair of engineers ever and hey, the flat GYwelt looks great to me personally.
I'll check back in 6 mos from now.

Also perfect timing as I did just order a pair of their 501's in the standard black cow, also went with an unstructured toebox and after seeing your pair I'm super stoked to try them out!
For 295usd(standard cow leather) they sure seems like a real steal! and the 399usd(C.F Stead) or 460usd(Horween) for a more premium leather still a great price for a pair of engineers that looks great imo.
Cheers!

Thanks!
Yeah, I’ve been looking online for any reviews on em and from the few I seen and comparing with other boots I just went with giving it a try. Didn’t want to pull the trigger on the price of Lofgrens but I’m pretty satisfied with these boots.
Had no expectations going in but really happy with the boots.

Some different angled in natural light shots of the CoR 501 Lofgren "homage" It doesn't have the Lofgren storm welt, but I've seen Lofrgen's with flat welts.

Got a pair of "501 engineers" from CrushOnRetro delivered today in their own black cowhide.
So far so good, a bit of a "glue smell" from the boots but the fit is great and the construction of the boots seems very good for the price(295usd shipped) but I'll have to give them some wear before I can say for sure.

That quad stitching is over kill and my cobbler would be all like "wtf?! (I'm impressed)' about it, but damn, that looks good.

Did you guys catch this:
The Nicks station Master is now available on the Parkhurst last.
Not sure if they will do EEE widths on this last, like the 55 and HNW, but this certainly has me intrigued. You can spec a really sleek engineer boot with a huge selection of leathers and still land it under $800. Made in the US!
The wait times aren’t great, but not as bad as Wesco. Still, the prospect of a six month wait and the fact that I don’t have any jeans over an 8” opening anymore is enough to stop me mashing that BUY button too impulsively.

And that Shackleton brown would look great with my new dark seal jacket:
