...quick before Levi's eco start legal proceedings?

[Thanks_M8]

@beautiful_FrEaK have u looked at heschung? They have many similar models to paraboot in the same price class. I read somewhere, that they would be somehow of higher quality, but don't have experience with paraboot myself. Would be great to see a direct comparison

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I sure did (online). I think we two had a similar conversation some pages ago?
Heschung is a tiny bit more expensive I think but not JM Weston expensive yet

[tigerstrom]

Looking good! Which colour are they? Marron?@beautiful_FrEaK

[Thanks_M8]

Just gonna lower the tone a little... 

Altberg tabbing boots, about 4 years old and approx 4000 miles walked in these on pavements trails and mountainous terrain (in dryer weather) they are lined in cambrelle and have a cordura bellows tongue. A great general purpose boot. They probably have another 3000 miles left in them until they need a resole!

If I remember correctly that’s their military last, lots of nice JP makeups in black shell that I’ve seen.

No problemo. That makes it easier to find money. How much are we looking at? Let me know the specs some time and if/when I need to preorder.

Thoughts on the Lofgren tanker boots? Unsurprisingly nice looking (to me anyway) and expensive. Not sure about the shaft height and the buckle system though. It seems like the shaft collapses onto itself a little too much.

 

[dudewuttheheck]

I think they look pretty cool, but they're a bit too similar to being engineers without being engineers for my taste. I wish they would use that leather on their engineers or donkey punchers though.

[Geeman]

Not for me, like you say the shaft collapses and I think they are going to look worse as time goes on.

Sure not far from alden retail man 

[the shivman]

I like the new Lofgrens. They have more of a military feel to them than engineer boots. I wouldn't mind owning a pair.

How does MOTOR sizing work on engineer boots?  True to size?  @dudewuttheheck

They fit similar to my lace up boots, so UK sizing for my feet. I have a 9H in the lace ups and I wore a 9H when I tried on the engineers and I am a size 10.5 on a brannock.

Hello boot lovers I'm sorry I have only just posted this now but iv only just stumbled on it myself but if anyone has ever wanted boot trees but never did because of the cost do yourself a favour and check out "Woodlore" The Boss boot trees they are reasonably priced at $50.00 US but for the next few days they have a two for one offer and that extends to normal shoe trees as well .

anyhoo happy stomping .
