link on these pls on the wesco site?

Fre$co, did you add me to the list? (i said i want in a few pages back)

I think my make-up would look very similar to the black horsehides I posted. I would choose the standard last though , antique eyelets and double leather soles (or single leather with vibram sole) . Not sure if i'd go with a toe cap. (might look bulgy)

if not possible, i'll have black chrome excel ones.

btw marineabilly, ed, etc; is it a rule of thumb to go with your regular boots size when buying engineer boots? (for example im size 8 in Alden, red wing and Whites; same size for engineer boots?)

[fre-co]

List so far:

Fre$co

Demonito

Aquaphor

Slide13

Marinabilly

Baldy

Lostinthesupermarket

Zakurie

Snake

Happy Hooligan

Mctaran

Slab

BrownMetallic

Slab, based off your other boot sizing, I would go size 8 for Engineers.

[denimdestroyedmylife]

why don't you guys start a thread about this group order

might draw more interest that way

and it would keep this thread uncluttered for uninterested parties

just a suggestion

[beatle]

seconded.....

[fre-co]

Yeah I think it might be time to do that....

Beatle, how easy is it to move the conversation to a new thread?

[edmond]

i did talked to whites rep my face is on the line if people starts backing out

I think they'd look awesome with a little bit of a cuff on your denim. Just my 2 cents.

Agreed with everyone.. cuff those bad boys... show off that buckle.

and start wearing them. It will get the "new" shine off and scuff em up a bit...

Engineer boots are not suppose to be dress boots so don't worry about keeping them new looking...

[aso2004]

Demonito...

I am backing in..

And I do think a thread of it's own is a good one

[beatle]

Okay, Ed, please start a new thread - Whites custom order or whatever ...thanks

anyone ever use mink oil on rough out leather boots? Or any similar products like snoseal? What are the results like or is it not worth doing...

thanks in advance guys.

p.s. props on the redwing shop job almostnice. I just came back from a trip to berlin and the redwing store there also had some great worn in pairs, and lots of re-soled boots waiting for their owners.

[smittybat]

Guys in WWII used to do this to their roughout service shoes. It's called dubbing. When you're done they'll be much darker and nearly smooth. See this link http://www.90thidpg.us/Equipment/Projects/Dubbing/index.html

I put snoseal on some Dayton rough outs (can't vouch for other snoseal like products). Before and after.

I did it a few months back but I still really like how they turned out.

i will not apply anything on my two months old RW 8113 for a long time.the leather is so well prepared from new and i believe they will get a much nicer patina without minkoil etc.

cheers dralfonzo,the Hamburg store belongs to the same guys(besides Burg&Schild).

These just had their first birthday. Worn 4-5 days a week for a year.

These just had their 2nd birthday and 2 resoles. Crappy job Redwing did on the 2nd resole. The first resole was wrong (vibram) and this one used the brown cork instead of the black cork. I had to have the cork since they perform perfect for me riding in the Florida rains. Weird they said that they don't resole the heritage collection and only have brown cork soles. I asked what if I had a pair of black Iron Ranger? She asked what those were. There were Hawhorn and Amber IRs on the display next to her. I almost went with a black wedge sole. Kinda wish I had now.

Sigh.

some used boots on display at Redwing Store Hamburg:

I heard that they only employ losers at that red wing shop. In the company ranking it ranked like last in customer satisfaction.

[marineabilly]

Wow, what a job they did on the welt stitching of those Engineers. Okuyama could do a better job blindfolded with one arm behind his back.

Yep I went to Redwing for the resole thinking they would do a good job and it might comeback looking factory new. Nope. I saw on a tag stuck to the boot that it went to some cobbler in Illinois not even the factory. Since this was the second resole I just took them and left. I found a local guy on the way to work I'm going to take them in to and just hand them to him and ask him if he can see what's wrong and if he can fix it. If it's cheap I'll do it since this sole should last me now quite a few years and I don't want to take a sharpie and black in the stitching so I can't see the shitty job they did. They only for riding now so it's not that big of a deal but...

[lostinthesupermarket]

Did you email customer service?

I would let them know that you will be posting about your experience here.
