It's a long shot but by chance would anyone have a pair of size 12 RRL x Julian engineer boot the'y like to trade for this size 11? For sale if not.
I own a pair for the redwing engineer boots and love them. I have three pair of redwing boots and love them all. The engineer boots took a few weeks of wear to break in, but they are amazing now.I've suddenly felt the urge to buy a pair of engineer boots. I say 'suddenly', but it's actually been about a week, since I read this thread. Plus I want to fold some socks over the top of my boots, just for the hell of it.
What I mean is, all of a sudden I like them, after years of poo-pooing them as rockabilly accessories of choice.
I've looked into Chippewa and Wesco, both of which offer styles I like (I want plain, no fancy stuff). Can I have a show of hands for Chippewa and Wesco, plus any other recommendations, please? If any UK FL members can provide links to retailers, I'd be especially grateful.
I have never seen these boots out in the wild, and I'm really curious what they're like. Could you please take some good pictures to show here?hello there! does someone else have the Chippewa 1940 11" 4363BUR with oiled Horween leather in size 9E? I usually wear size 10D in every other boot/shoe.After wearing them at home for a week they feel pretty comfortable, even though a little tight around the toebox..
I have no reference as to what degree the horween laether will still stretch...anyone with the same boots?!

got some roadchamps
I'm a proponent of resole if you like the style and you have a say-so on the sole and heal.quick question...I am debating to either sell my new pair of Red Wing 2268 ( old stock, steel toe) or get only the heel replaced or completely resoled...( I dont like the plastic heel - Brian has some amazing examples of resoled Red Wing's with a much better looking heel) mhmm..
i was on the waitlist for about 2-3 months and I got them last Friday. They are 8.5AWESOME!!! What size are you? When did they contact you? I'm also on the list, I'm supposed to be next up for a 7.5
agreed..just received 2 quotes from 2 sources...and its either the equivalent to wesco's custom boot or even higher....( with a double mid sole...)I'm a proponent of resole if you like the style and you have a say-so on the sole and heal.
