SJC are prepping to unleash its Hump Boot next week. Looks nice. Three colours: tan, black, damson:

Wow,those look great.

 

[Bunyip]

the SJC look great - I am told they will be wide, E or maybe even EE...shame bout the 360* welt however.. wonder what the intro price will be

 

[SoCalSoftailSlim]

Yes, It is both thicker and stiffer than CXL. It cost me 131000yen including shipping.

Here is my Clinch after break in within 30mins XDD...

Confident outfit. Nicely done.

Thanks for the heads up IRT SJC. I ordered the oxblood.

How are you guys figuring sizing on the SJC engineer boots? I'd normally wear a size 9.5e in most US sizes but I'm unsure what that would translate to in his sizing. I'm guessing a size 9uk but with engineer's it would be a real pain if they were too big.

 

[belopsky]

He posted insole measurements. Check those if you are not sure. I went with a UK8 . I wear a US9

I asked about this on another thread. It seems they are being made in only full sizes and that they fit to size. I'm not sure where that leaves us half-size types.

 

[belopsky]

If youre in between, size up. Check insole measurements.

From speaking to Simon, the boots seem to run a half-size bigger than the stated number, hence the publishing of the last sizes. I'm swithering over whether to go with the seven or six at the moment. I have some boots that are 6.5, 7 and 7.5s, there seems to be little consistency out there. Part of me thinks go with the 6 and they'll mould with wear as loose boots are a nightmare.

Thanks. After blowing a fair amount of money on myself at Christmas on a guitar, I was sitting here all smug in my frugal virtue of how I don't need anything else. Then those Balmorals had to happen. Now I'm considering all kinds of slimy excuses to work on my wife about how I really, really need these things. And the clock's running. Damn this forum!

Do it Tropicalbob!
The balmorals are really beautiful.

Side note: I met Brian of Role Club at Inspiration. What a nice guy, and beautiful boots. He had a vintage pair of Chippewas on display. I now have a "Grail" boot

Thanks for that measurement chart, belopsky. I'm a 9.5E/EEE and went with the 9UK. Need to measure some of my boots' insoles to see whether or not I should switch to 8.

 

[casechopper]

Let me know what you come up with on that Rev_rend. I'd be interested to know. I compared with some measurements that White's uses and it looked like sizing down might be a good idea but I haven't actually measured any of my boots yet.

Nice roughouts. Who's the maker?
