Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

Thinking the Mr. Lou will is just fine. Getting these out for casual wear a few wears per week and about 6 weeks in. They definitely look black in dim light, but in brighter light can see the olive undertones. This is The Shop x Wesco collab in Maryam Horsehide Olive Petrolio.

Nice look! Are they Horween? I have a vague recollection that Horween did a CXL At a time that was black with a green undertone (I think it was called something counterintuitive like Midnight Blue?). It's a look I like; reminds me of a lot of German-made leather jackets from the 30s through 50s. I enjoy it much more than teacore, the latter having a tendency to give me the twitch over whether the match it with black or brown other bits half the time.

Finally found engineers that work with my low volume feet!
5th times a charm.
Nice horse hide with good color depth. Comfortable insole.
10” height.
Very narrow shaft. I wear straight cut denim but these would likely work well with tapered pants.
photo skills are bad so i screen grabbed.

Could you help me with sizing for these? I’ve got low volume feet too (Lofgrens felt very loose on me). My foot measures 27.5cm exactly. Addict’s size 10 is 28cm.. seems right? I wear 11d in MOST Nikes but could wear a 10.5. I wear a 10 in Red Wing moc toes, 9.5d in iron rangers.

Thank you!

Does anyone own a pair of the Chippewa by Real Mccoys horsehide boots? There's a pair I'm looking at that might be my size, not entirely sure how they run.

I have the Chippewa reproduction boots made by Toys McCoy, The Wild One. How can I help?

But, as you know, engineers are tricky. Are you purchasing with a return option?

Not sure yet! If I can find some uses I’ll go that route, as I’ve seen these lofgrens really hold up well. I wore my 10.5s for about three months solid and barely even dented the soles.

I’d be ok with my toes touching the end a little bit given my experience so far. Just hoping to find a size that feels less loose in the heel and midfoot.

Really appreciate the help!

I just acquired these Lofgrens in brown shinki.
