John Lofgren Engineer Boots in Natty CXL

[A-1]

I just wanted to show some love for these beautiful boots!
I am wearing them with insoles and they're really comfy now. But without them, they don't have an arch support or anything.
I'm not the greatest fan of CXL leather, but the natural CXL is super great! It shows some minor changes each day and I love that!
I usually never wear boots more than two days in a row, but these have been through 4 weeks of daily wear. Whatever the weather. From day one, every day. There has just been a cleaning and some brushing. Nothing has been put on them so far.
Here is a little photo love story of the boots:

Those are absolutely killer

Nice boots. But surely some black shinki horsebutt boots would go better with your awesome dd jacket...?

Haha, nah, black in engineers is not my style. Thought about it but the naturals are purrfect for me. Even with the jacket! As the temperature drops I'll be dropping some photos soonish...

 

[ton312]

I really like the natural color on this style. I'm not a huge boots guy but these have me thinking...maybe I should be.

awesome boots! I have the same pair and love them!

I think the black ones add more edge to them. And the nattys are a bit more Wild West without being too cowboy. Don't know how to phrase it, haha.
These are being used and abused by me. There's no mercy for them, like for none of my boots and shoes. Let's see how they're holding up in the next months. There was almost no rain here which is exceptional. But the wet season is about to start and the boots and the jacket will be put to test.

Another owner here who loves them, definitely my favourite engineers so far.

I had a pair of natty cxl whites nomad for a few years.
Unless you really baby them, they will darken quickly and take on all sorts of marks and stains. (Definitely a good thing I think).
Wearing them with new raw denim turns the shaft blue where it rubs for example.
Mind you, mine went through 2 uk winters of motorcycle commuting so they got the worst treatment possible...

We got some guys with great taste, here.
These are mine. Love them so much!

This boot in Natural CXL looks Dynamite! I'd definitely love to get a pair.

Very nice boots there, I've not had any truly Natural pull on or lace up boots, however my first pair of Red Wings Work Boots where light brown pull on's. I showed them no mercy in the 6 years I owned them. Been considering a pair of Wesco's or Whites, as I really need arch support. I like how these look, but for my daily life I'll be ordering a little darker color. Keep on showing photos of the break-in...

My pair, today, after a walk with the dogs.

Fascinating seeing how these age to am amber-like colour.

 

[dudewuttheheck]

wow, those look amazing. These and Hollows' pics show just how beautifully these boots age.

@Dav are these really the naturals? They look great! I have some Vibergs in Natural CXL and they look very different. Have you conditioned them? They look beautiful!

 

[Dav]

Thanks, I did polish them with some Venetian Cream about a week after I got them in May, but nothing since.
