Shoes that look better with age...

[mousemouse]

no problem! 

 

I'm so sorry for the negative rep, the trackpad on my Macbook's been acting funny and it clicked on it by accident.

 

thanks for the advice guys. I will wait for a cobbler which can put vibram toplifts when I travel back home. I read it is much longer wearing than the generic rubber toplifts.

How much?

[edmond]

cheap you will say wow thats cheap. well not as cheap as redwings. i will post the price soon

[Iron Horse]

Details look very good, too bad I'm not in the market for another pair of engineers.

[volvo240thebest]

I've just bought a pair of Nomads, not likely in the market for a second pair of engineers, though I'd be curious to see what it looks like. Will you have a prototype before gethering orders? I hope so..

Welcome back Mr Asian Charles Bronson!

[Broark]

Hey Ed, who's making them for you?

Might be interested if the price is right.

Been looking into engineers more lately since I don't have a pair.

[givemefive]

I'm a C width or I'd be down.

[edmond]

I can have the width altered they're what I can call a made to measure.

a Mexican factory will be making these for us. And they've been a long time boot makers

[givemefive]

all right I'll be on the lookout for the details

[Broark]

There are some pretty reputable boot makers in Mexico, I'll be interested in seeing the sample.

If they had some kind of brown horsehide or just some nice brown shade leather I might be interested.

[Cucoo]

Yeah I'm intrigued as well if there's the option of more width.

[ShootThePier]

I'll keep my ears open. Love Horsebutt(that sounds odd), don't have any engineers.

[pudaspriest]

Hadn't worn these in a while, love the way the laces have left an imprint around my ankles. Red wing 8173's

 

[alvin_cheong]

Like to see the mock up picture for the engineers.

[cander49]

God damn. I love these. Pardon the crappy work pants. With what I do in the lab right now, I won't wear nice stuff to work most days.

 

 

 

 

 

Alden for 14 Oz Berlin Whiskey Shell Cordovan. The body is a whole cut (which I love), with the addition of extra pieces for the laces. The color on these is really extraordinary. Oh, and Barrie last in E is ridiculously comfortable. Love it.

[alvin_cheong]

Nice shoes....I have a pair in cigar color

[cander49]

Would love to have some cigars as well. They're hard to come by, but I'm sure I'll eventually find a pair!

[alvin_cheong]

I love to have whiskey as well...Lol. Shell unique colors are hard to come by. I have a ravello captoe, 1 brown ptb, 1 whisky longwing, 1 color 8 tanker and C&J brown shell. Looking for more whiskey and ravello colors. Become an addict to Alden shell shoes now.

Brand new Rolling Dub Trio's:

 

Love the Coupen. Where did you pick them up?

Love the Coupen. Where did you pick them up?

 

Ordered from the Japanese store Masuya:

 

https://masuya1997.com/category/item/brand/rollingdubtrio/

 

Hiroyoshi there is fluent in English and very helpful.  Shipped to the US in about 4 or 5 days, for a total cost of $565 USD (much cheaper apparently than a store in London is currently offering them for...)

[TbickSTL]

Truman Boot Co in natty CXL. Admittedly not the most exciting for a MTO boot but I'm not a guy with a huge rotation and didn't want something too wild. Took about 9 weeks to get these after I made the order. Really happy with the fit and quality of these boots. Pics are after a couple of wears. 

 

 

 

 

Here they are with my Eternals and Chups 

 

 

[garden gnomes in space]

looks good man.  be cautious when you treat the natty cxl.  lots of products will prematurely darken the leather. 

[Megatron1505]

Just sent my Alden Indy's to be bastardised with a 2021 sole. Intrigued by the results, will post when I get them back.

[edmond]

mega ...

[edmond]

im sure even a pair of birks youd put a 2021 in it

[tod]

Yes, please post, I'd be very interested to see the results. Where did you send them..?

[Megatron1505]

Just a local cobbler, he's more used to working on English dress shoes so the results should be interesting.

 

Ed, I currently own no foot with a 2021 sole, or anything that even remotely looks like one 

[edmond]

I swear by it too I wanna put it on my russel my wesco my whites even my new balance

New Alden 4060 HC's....Had the 4060 years ago but sold off due to sizing; turns out I'm a full size larger. Anyways, these are my favorite cap toe boots of all time, I plan to still be wearing them 80 years from now lol
