Attractions Lot.444 Engineers. I've had these from new for a few weeks and it has not been the easiest breaking in period - I could barely get them on at first, but this has eased up and they now slide on nicely. They fit me really well (initial insertion issues aside). Comfort underfoot is still not where I like but improving - the best things come with effort, or so I have been told. Picture of my feet in said boots ..

Got a pair of engineers coming in from the Danes at Bright Shoemakers, their Vulture boots :)
Been waiting for these to release fore a while now. They look absolutely amazing in my eyes with the western/cowboy-crown and unconstructed toes, very stoked for them!

More pictures when I have them in hand ofc :)

Same here!

I have a pair of black Engineers and two pairs of black workboots, but for Chelseas, I always opt for brown. Don’t really know why.
Additionally, all my black boots have some kind of brown contrast to them (brown midsole, unfinished leather edges), so it’s not ‘all black’.

I bought brown Chelseas after all. Suede ones, so even more dress-down.

While the leathers are different in type and texture, I really like how the colors look together.

Danish Duckfeet, following a recommendation here on TFL.

These are either the most or the least stylish shoes ever, but they sure are comfy. Just took them for a one hour lunch-break stroll across the fields. Like!

They don't look as bad as most of the " barefoot " footwear with that atrocious toebox shape.
I think they look appropriately shaped and I figure most people wouldn't be able to notice the difference, I'd absolutely wear them without feeling like I looked goofy.

If you ever want a similar veldskoen or chukka that has a quite wide toe box while still looking normal though you should check out a pair of Jim Green, you can get a pair that look the same as these.
A slightly taller upper than these appear to be , but if you desired something nearly identical you could order from their custom shop and get a shoelie made on their wide toe box JG last.

I just ordered these light brown rose anvil kitties to add to the USGI black ICW boots.
I just want to brighten them up a bit , I doubt they'll look like PNW's but the brown kitties and brown 375 paracord should really transform them into something that doesn't scream " BLACK COMBAT BOOTS "
