Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

@58panheadfan’s Buco have patinated so nicely I’m also severely tempted by those although I’m kinda between sizes and don’t (yet) have a black jacket - plus I know I’ll never wear mine as hard as Harry !

View attachment 246513 Crappy photo but some of the selection here in Zurich that I’m having difficulty choosing between: Buco, Lofgren, Clinch, Clinch, Lofgren

Lofgren first then Buco.

Lofgren just goes above and beyond. I dig all of my boots from him.

Woah. For a second I thought those all were yours.
I like the Buco based on looks but They seem to have the least written about them. Certainly a big price spectrum if that’s a consideration.

Lofgren just released a very nice new brown color way exclusive to the new european site.

I just saw those. Not sure what the "reverse" means in the description of the leather though.

The online Lofgrens look really nice

Resoled Viberg 10” CXL horse. The factory rubber sole and massive heel are just wrong, if you don’t intend to ever walk, just stand still and shovel coal, sure. Too much Vibram rubber and too large a heel made it too heavy, and the large ground contact surface made it hard to walk. Izet of Stamford redid the whole bottom and reduced heeel size (while increased height). Now so much better

Turned out very nice.

Mine have huge Cat's Paw heels that I had trouble finding replacement for them. However I don't find difficult to walk in. I do agree that the heels seem too big and too low.

These look great. Are you only making samples in your own size, or on other sizes to sell in a “sample sale” manner?

These are actually not my size. Most of the samples are around 10-10.5. There is a selection available for sale.

Who still sells brass and nickel roller buckles for engineers? Last place I bought them from was Iron Heart and they no longer sell them. I’m looking for both styles.

Just picked up these sample Lofgrens from S&S in brown horsebutt. Never tried on Lifgren engineers but was looking for a pair in something other than CXL. Fully lined in horsehide as well, might cut down wearable time in the heat though.
