Footwear to go with our jackets

[Harris HTM]

Deceptive wording on their website if they're manufacturing elsewhere.

"We are committed to expanding our British manufacturing and working with some of the finest material suppliers in the UK and around the world. LANX's commitment to British manufacturing extends beyond footwear; with socks made in Leicestershire, clothing sewn in Greater Manchester, and shoe boxes made in Lancashire."

Maybe they do offer some collections made in the UK?

This seems like it might be the right thread to see if anyone can help me with sizing advice for John Lofgren CXL Engineers. Do they fit large, small or true to size ? Thanks for any help

Might find some help here: https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/comparison-wesco-mr-lou-to-john-lofgren-engineer.102418/

What the crap?!

That's not even close to anything I would expect for Any PNW manufacturer or even an overseas-sourced Red Wings.

Granted Moc-Toe is a new venture for White's and none of mine have this design, honestly speaking I do not prefer it. However this is really shoddy. What model is this? And did you order it through Baker's Shoes in Oregon? That's a pretty good deal overall - better service & lead times, easier returns if needed, and an extra measure of QC along the way.

This was a stock model Perry moc toe distressed leather, picked it up from White’s direct during their sale.

I took delivery of my much researched John Lofgren Engineers in natural CXL earlier today. Very nicely presented and packaged, smelt lovely, and constructed to an extremely high standard - but I couldn't get them on for the first 5 minutes of trying.

Thus ensued a potential nightmare scenario, where I couldn't get them on try on properly without some firm gripping and pulling, but I couldn't crease or otherwise mark them in case I wanted to send them back. I dug deep, and with my father's oft-repeated phrase that 'nothing good comes without hard work' at the forefront of my mind, I persevered and managed to get them both on.

As soon as they were on I immediately knew I was going to keep them, they were supremely comfortable, they fit exactly how I wanted them to (a little heel slip but nothing too much) and looked extremely cool - if, at this early stage, a little (well, a lot actually)anaemic what with them being brand new natural CXL. Fingers crossed they will darken up a bit in the sun and with just general wear.

I went with as US 11.5, so one half size down from my brannock measurement and, despite the initial issue with getting the buggers on, the feel really really great. They're pretty spendy, and Ive certainly never considered laying out so much on footwear before, but I'm really happy. Thanks for the sizing tips from earlier in this thread, here's a few first 30 minutes pics for anyone interested.

Congrats on a pair of supernice boots! IMO the nicest pair of Engineers around.

This is exactly the style that I tried on in a variety of sizes but couldn´t make to fit. The ones that would have fit, I couldn´t slip on, the ones I managed to get on were too large. Glad you made it work!
