FS: A few pairs of restored vintage engineer boots

[regius]

Hi, for fans of engineer boots, I have for sale are a few pairs of newly restored boots from the 50s-70s. The boots themselves are not spectacular for their vintage value, they are un-verified as truly from the 40s or 30s, so I don't claim them. However, they are hand-restored by Brian the Bootmaker (#Brianthebootmaker).

Some of the newly posted Instagram photos on his account were my boots.

Pictures worth a thousand words so please take a look. He relasted them to look like the 30s and to fit my feets. So please measure your feet according to the following diagram and numbers. The heels cups are all new, footbed and cushion are all new. New sole and new heels.

These are probably 50s Montgomery Wards, some wounds on the upper panel, but will last for another good 20-30 years.






These are most recent unknown brand, with a USA map embossed, you are welcome to ID them.

My measurements are

Left foot:
a: 9 1/2
b: 9 ¼
c: 10
d: 13
E: 8 ¾

Right foot
A: 9.5
B: 9 ¾
c: 10.5
d: 13
e: 9

I went a little crazy and ordered too many jobs from Brian than I needed, so I am letting them go at a breakneck price. $400 each. This is way below how much I paid if you know about Brian the Bootmaker or any other vintage boot restoration places.

[RJR]

Crazy good price as sold from a really solid guy. Reg, I wish we were the same foot size as we are jacket size

 

[regius]

I will post pic soon, been crazy busy, thanks guys. please note, some of these have been lightly worn, so the soles are a bit dirty, but still pretty much new. Cheers!

 

[RJR]

I guess I'll look elsewhere.....

 

[regius]

Ok, pictures. These are the unbranded (they must be branded but I don't know, maybe Georgia?). The leather shell is pretty much new, perhaps from the 80s, so as I said, the leather shell is of nothing special, but, it has been re-shaped and re-soled, so that adds to it as something of a make-over value. I know, if Brian issues his own boots, it will be of Horween leather, but other than the leather, the shape is in line with his styles, and of course, the material and quality of the bottom elements. These have never been worn.

Montgomery Wards, these are older, judging from the leather and extent of use. There is a little imperfection as mentioned before, please see picture. These are originally soft toes. Again, these have not been worn since the restoration.

Will post more later.

Sears, these are good stuff. The leather is really good and it looks like the model based on which the Lone Wold and John Lofgren made theirs.

Sorry, i didn't address your question. The measurements are taken with regular wool socks (Orvis invincibles).

 

[RJR]

What size boot do you normally wear?Your measurements don't list an overall length.

 

[regius]

For length reference, I wear 8.5-9 in Alden's boots, Indy, dress shoes etc. Same for Crocket and Jones.

 

[RJR]

Thanks,I'm 9.5EE.

 

[kyboots]
