Footwear to go with our jackets

[Herrvallmo]

Sorry for double posting but I wanted to share some pictures of my Sendra engineers that I re-colored a while ago to better match my leather jackets(from CXL#8 burgundy to a dark brown). I'm super happy with the result, and now after some wear the color seems to have stuck great(I see now that one strap may need another go)!

Some pictures to show the difference:

That's an interesting and well-executed re-dye of those nice Engineers.
Color #8 (Cordovan - Burgundy) is a highly appealing color initially at least to my eyes. However in my own practical experience, it's somewhat a difficult color to "live with" in real life. While I've not had many boots this color, I have owned several Aero jackets in color #8, in a couple "shades" of it as it does vary. All have moved along.

That's likely why with the Whites Nomads I ordered, I chose the brown, seems easier to pair with overall.

Thanks man.

I agree 100%, love the color of it(may be my favorite color from Horween) but I do own a pair of Service boots in that exact leather which is enough for me

A pair of Sendra engineers were my first goodyear welted footwear, maybe 15 years ago. They’re made in Spain, like myself. I remember they were very narrow for my feet. I should’ve gone for the longer shaft but at the time I felt that was too much.

Shortly after David Beckham signed for Real Madrid and he became a fan of Sendra engineers too, apparently.

Actually last winter I briefly considered getting some hiking-styled boots.

My favourite were the Paraboot Avoiraz:

But they were too expensive for a style I was not fully sold on, so I looked at the Sendra Milles.

Beautiful!

You are right calling them "hiking-inspired", for I can well see some functional issue but still - very nice visually!

My first GYW boots were also a pair of Sendra harness boots that I bought on a vacation to Stockholm. Didn't fit too well, sold them later. Very cool boots. Sendra makes great boots for the price, especially if you grab a used pair.

I have gone through many Sendra pairs lol. Only 1 left now, the black lugged engineer boots.

These are... Okay but the other ones, the "Oxford" and the "Chelsea" are literally making me deeply angry. I want to strangle the person responsible for this.

They also do cars.

Well, these are barefoot shoes. They have this wide toe cap and zero drop.
They take some getting used to, but are incredibly comfortable. I find myself preferring them to my beloved sneakers more and more. I'm looking forward to the welted ones.

For me the barefoot topic is a no brainer in terms of long term health and comfort, but VERY debatable / subjective in terms of looks. Out of all the aspects of barefoot footwear I find the wide toe box to be the most important both in terms of comfort and foot health. That's why I've been dreaming of a Thurman last Nicks or some other Munson/anatomical last pair of boots. That might become a reality if I order a pair of Willie's engineers in their Munson last

Bit of a different post, but there is not yet a "finds & deals" thread for boots that I am aware of.

If you want to try out a pair of White's Packers; High arch in 10.5B might be a good way to try them. $225 or offer, Look in great shape, just will fairly soon need soles, which is not too expensive through White's directly.
