Role Club "Boots by Brian" Engineer horsehide

[sweetfights]

Just received.
Order took 6 months from down payment to construction complete.
I followed all fit instructions on the Role Club website.
Placed $200 deposit and waited.

The best smelling leather boots. Intoxicating.
They slid on very easily and then I adjusted the buckles to my preference.
I ordered the half height "Cuban" or "Woodsman heel". No regrets in this decision.



The leather is from the "strip" area of the horse. Tough yet pliable and a joy to the touch. The black color is deep and attractive.
I went with the natural finish after much self debate.
Totally comfortable and very easy to walk in. Stylish and functional.
Will be trying them out on the motorcycle in a few hours.
Brian is cordial, friendly and easy to work with.

Great boots. I was in Los Angeles a few weeks ago. Resisted the temptation to book a visit with Brian.

Give in brother! Lifetime purchase not including some sole attention.

 

[Gav]

I’ll definitely be visiting Los Angeles again. No rush! I actually prefer his lace ups but certainly don’t need any more boots anyway.

What I really want is a pair of black shell v-tips.

Greetings Captain:
Ahh, now i see the reason you let go of that perfect fitting Sheene! Outstanding boots!! Quite the dilemma, like having two georgeous girlfriends on Friday and...boots it is.
Please promise not to stomp out any fires with those, use the firetruck.
But feel free to stomp out any of those mal-contents up your way!!
Be safe and be well. Bowen

tbh i’ve been looking at clinch boots but they are made from the shell and i think i just prefer the strip leather that role club uses. is this what the soft toe looks like?

Nice boots! Can you talk a bit about fitting process, assuming you did it remotely?

Those are beautiful. I am due to visit them next week. Hope Nacho is well enough to work on my boots.

[Mister Rivets]

The Role Club engineer is a work of art. I've tried a friends on and your foot just slips into the boot with NO fighting the shaft of the boot. My friend waited just a little over a year for them.
