Shoes that look better with age...

[coleslawyum]

Yep got a 11" and 6" engineer boots. If you usually wear a 10 in boots and shoes, I would recommend you get a 10. I tried sizing down, but it turned out to be too tight. When you go true to size, it is only slighty bigger but a perfect fit with an insole. It's murder on the dogs without insoles so definitely keep that in mind.

EDIT: Yes please make sure your US size.

that comment was first directed to House but thanks for your input!

shoe sizes vary so much in between different brands. sometimes it's worse than jeans sizing...

I know that those Engineers should be a struggle to get on the first few times and will be more comfortable with more wear. and insoles are also recommended. tried the RW 2268 and the salesman told me so.

so if I wear a US 9,5 in Converse Chucks, would that help you more to give me the right advise?

[coleslawyum]

Yeah I realized that after I posted!

Well, maybe not since I wear a size 9 in chucks and an 8.5 in all dress shoes and boots. I would have to say go with your usual dress shoe or boots size. If you're not sure what that is, it would great if you got your hands on a Brannock device to measure your foot.

thanks a lot. maybe the old cobbler in my village still hast one of those devices. I remember he had something like this 20 years ago. but he closed his shop and only does repairs right now

Nice choice, congrats!

thx Ed. Someone else have some first hand experience? No offense, Ed

IMO Chippewa engineers run about a half size large.

I'm a true 11.5d, and I ordered an 11.5d. I wish I had gotten an 11d.

Hope this helps.

Thanks the mate helping me to choose my first boot.

Which pairs of boot at the below is match with skinny jeans like dior?

Thanks alot!!!!!

P.S. Is it black color is much more easy to match?

[erk]

I think any of those boots will look silly with skinny jeans.

wear my 8111s with skinny jeans and they look fine.

My Red Wing boots.

Bought them 2002 in a farm supply store in Pontotoc, MS. Payed 129,00 $.

Spring now starts even in Berlin. For the first time in 8 years I will be cleaning and oiling them. Did use them only during winter time.

Will post pictures of the progress...

[mechanical pencil]

Finally got my new Russell's! (After a 6 moth wait...)

Even though they got the leather wrong (supposed to be chromexel) I'm going to keep them because this time the fit is perfect.
