9.5 in Wesco
I wondered that as well

I guess this reseller read the wiki too.Ha! I did wonder! Clearly a Donkey Puncher is very different than a Donkey Punch!
In my defence,I am currently in Beijing where the only search engine available is Bing (i.e. might as well not be any), but I should have thought of wikipedia! The things one learns!
Some day I really must treat myself to some nice, high-end engineers.
Entering a for me new rabbit hole. Can you give me some advice about the fit of Wesco boots and John Lofgren engineer boots. I am a 7,5 in Viberg 2030, 1035, 310 (only in 310 with an insole), 7,5 in Red Wings IR, 8 in Truman Boots and a 7 in Trickers Stow Boots, 8 in Converse. For what size should i look. How are the fit of Wesco and John Lofgren Boots in comparison? Which one would you prefer? I don't ride a bike.
Thanks for any help.
Both are Bad A$$!The boots look awesome, but what jeans are they????? You can PM me the answer if you want, or answer here. Doesn't matter to me.
Dipping my toes in the whole engineer boot thing (pun intended) and I just took delivery of these this morning. I was actually looking for a pair of Chippewas without steel toes, when I stumbled upon these RWs on ebay. I made what I thought was a ridiculously low offer and to my surprise they accepted. So far they seem to fit perfectly, although they are a little heavy with the steel toes and all. But I figure they’ll be fine for short runs around the city on the moto…
Any info on this RW model from you knowledgeable Engineer Boot aficionados would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the info! I was riding around with them (Red Wing 2268 PT83 Engineer Boots) on my Moto-guzzi today- they are definitely heavy, but I really liked the feeling of added protection. Definitely going to keep them!These were my first pair of red wings, although around here they are called 2268. They are really nice for the money.
You are right, they weight a ton, and are super rigid because of the steel shank. I mostly wear mine on the bike too, or if i know i won't be walking all day.
According to google the PT83 model was made from 1983 through 1991. They then changed to the 2268 which is only available in europe or asia for some weird reason.
