Wow, what an awesome list. There are a bunch I'd heard of but a bunch I'd never heard of too. Both Viberg and Dayton are relatively local and I have experience with both. Viberg quality is great but I find them way too wide around the instep. Dayton quality is lower but fit is better... except...
Hmmm. That's a new option. You're referring to the Hollywood Trading Company Santa Rosa engineer boots, correct? What do you know about them? I had a vintage pair of Santa Rosa Engineer boots and loved the styling. Are these designed to look like vintage SR boots? Also, what do you know about...
Thanks rev_rend. This helps.
Yeah, I saw them on MyHabit and my size is back in stock but, as you said, they jacked the price up again. If the boots were like the ones shown on the left, I'd definitely buy them. As it is, I think I'll pass. What I really want are the Lofgrens so it makes more...
Looking for some suggestions on some new Engineer boots. I'm looking for something more vintage looking and would love some Lofgrens. However, I think they're currently out of my price range. I'm okay to spend around $500-$600 Cdn max (which sucks because the Canadian dollar is doing so poorly...
Hi. I just posted a new auction on eBay for some custom Vibergs I got a year ago. Size 9D.
Selling as the fit isn't quite right for my feet.
Here's the link:

Yeah, let's just say I splurged a bit to get the exact boots I wanted, with the options I wanted. If you go with their stock engineers, they're more reasonable. These boots will be with me for the rest of my life so I bit the bullet and paid more. I would order their stock engineers next time...
They're 9" tall with longer instep straps, Vibram 700 sole (to get the stacked look for the heel), and a natural washed finish for the heels. Standard engineer last with a natural cut at the top (rather than rolled in). I really wanted a pair with this type of leather so I'm very happy with...
They're 9" tall. I typically get 11 or 14" but thought I'd go a bit shorter for more casual, everyday wear and for warmer weather. I'm liking the height.
Sorry, my bad. I had followed this thread for my decision making so my instinct was to post here. It seems this thread had moved on from just being a White's thread so...
Here are my new custom Viberg engineer boots, after a first day of wear. I had been thinking of a pair of Nomads but there were some concerns I had regarding the width of the shafts and the inability to request certain custom options that made me choose Vibergs (in addition to the fact they are...
