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.

great looking boots mate!

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! :D

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.

Here's my new "reverse" two tone Crush on Retro engineers. Only one wear so far, but they're pretty nice!

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.
