Footwear to go with our jackets

[Jin431]

Nice. How was the ordering process with Benzein? They definitely peak my interest.

very easy. adi (owner) is very responsive and they would send you a template that you can edit to your own specs. the Chelsea they make is really good, it's pretty bullet proof for a first order.

Cool, good to know. I'm already above my quota for the year though so any new order will need to wait until sometime next year. I've really gone hunting lately with the Lofgren engineers and Alden longwings already received and now I have just in this past week pre-ordered Wesco Mister Lou's in Toscanello horse rump, Wesco x Standard and Strange Axe Breakers in black horsehide, White's Nomads in black waxed flesh, and another Lofgren engineer in SHF Havana.

What a week! Solid choices all round.

I guess I should not say that I have considered getting some Lofgren lace to toe boots and was looking at these trickers in their outlet store they have my size for about 200 usd less

Custom rios boots are done it is a christmas miracle lol took about 7-8 months. Looking forward to these. Narrowed shaft, walking heel, round toe, nice subtle stitch pattern, hearty black oil tan type leather, solid rubber sole w midsole. I should add i got them from planet cowboy. Jaylin is the owner i think. She is super cool and nice. I enjoy following them on IG. She has a bootmaker in texas can go custom he is more 4-6 wk lead time may need to try that out

thanks for sharing! i still haven't found the ideal last for my feet but I hope to find one that's close enough for me. glad to know you rate the cordmasters as well, those little foam pads in the foot bed does seem to help although not sure how that will age over time and wear.

Super nice! I love my Rios´. Never thought I could pull them off, but they are just great.

Oh mine don't have them. I told them to not give me them. I hate foam in my boots haha.

It definitely helps to get measured if you can.

Good golly, it must be a Friday but this thread is moving quickly today! So many nice boots, where does one start!?

Thanks!

For my next pair, I'm choosing either black CXL or the Havana horsehide. Maybe both eventually. I really like these so far.

I should have added in my original post, that I would KILL for a leather jacket in this Ezo Shika deerskin. It's incredible.

I owned a pair of these in Black CXL, you can see the full write up here:

Wearing these to the office today. Brandnew. Must be pandemic bore-out. Actually, I have never received so many compliments on a piece of office-attire ever before. Life is not fair!

Tricker's Monkey shoes. Olivvia leather. Very comfy. Like wearing leather socks.

 

[AeroFan_07]

"Leather socks" - now that's a first & interesting concept...

White’s Semi Dress in Brown Dress, day 1.

Beautiful!
I’m stoked to see these because I have a pair of Semi Dress in Cordovan horsehide that should be arriving early next year.

I just can’t get behind the lace to toe boots and monkey boots, but those are definitely on the less extreme end of the spectrum.

They remind me of bowling shoes too much.

Absolutely love mine. I’ve got flat feet and love the arches in the 55 last.

I have a good natural arch and I really like the high arch in the two pairs of Whites I own already.
