I've sent the boots back to him to send back to the factory. I don't know what the next step will be. Let's see if they can correct them. If not, I'll ask for a refund or I'll sell them on. Yourself? @Sloan1874
@Gav, what's your sizing like in attractions?
I'm thinking of ordering a size 7 (uk 6.5) this is what they have suggested and is pretty true to size for me.
I've emailed Attraction, very tempting although I do prefer a round toe and they look on the less round side of engineers. Perhaps a pair of Chippewa or Redwing is the best way forward for me.
@Cocker I contacted Simon yesterday, he suggested sticking a pair of insoles from my trainers in there...
@Gav salivating over Attractions boots and clothing right now, theyve got some great stuff. I'm assuming their sizing is US on their website which means they do stock a UK 6 in the boot i'm looking at. Whether or not the last would work for me is hard to say without trying them on.

Thanks for this, i had a look at Wescos site today and sent them a message regarding a pair of factory seconds from there site, Morrisons not Engineers but they look pretty nice. The AA width may be tight though!
Thanks for your feedback - good to know not to keep persevering with them and that this isnt how they are mean to be feeling.
I actually sent Brian the Bootmaker an email today, i live in the UK so shipping fees would be an extra ad on.
I'll have a look at Attractions now, i hadn't heard of them
Hi, i'm new to posting on this forum but have done quite a lot of reading.
Having deliberated and obsessed over engineer boots for some time, i took the leap and bought a pair from a British designer who does short runs of clothes / shoes called Simon James Cathcart (his stuff is great)! .
