Do Attractions engineer boots have soft toe or composite?

[Broark]

Picked up some RW 8001's for cheap from Nordstrom Rack, thoughts?
I think they're pretty comfy for summer, just not sure if they're giving me too much of a Ronald McDonald vibe...

does any one on here know how to size Rolling Dub Trio boots and more specifically the Casper side zip boot? Masuya advised half size down (same as Viberg, Red Wing, Wesco, Whites) but Butterscotch is advising two full sizes down..

No idea, but could you tell me where you're buying them from? They always seem out of stock when I look...

S&S axebreakers by Wesco. Just over a year of wear, teacore coming through.

John Lofgren combat boots. Really comfortable boots.

[Iron Horse]

Two great pairs!

@JDelage

FootMonkey (via proxy?) got some pretty huge collection of RDT.

[Geeman]

I've used Footmonkey direct thru Rakuten before with no issues, for what it's worth

[JDelage]

Nice. It looks like they have only one color of the Casper though, and they're sold out:  http://footmonkey.jp/shopbrand/0000000220/

Can anyone educate me on the difference between horsebutt and Horsehide leather?  Also, do Attractions engineer boots have a soft toe or composite hard toe?

[redragon]

@JDelage

@SLAB

McFly Osaka still have some size available.

(8.5 in black,  7.5 & 9 in Natural) 

Contactable through email, pretty good English feedback.

Also...Just discovered they have their own official online store (https://thebootsshoponline.com) might be worth checking it out. 

Hope this helps.

i would trust masuya, his size advice for my coupen was spot on. in those boots i wear an 8.5 (US) which fits just slightly loose, "perfect" with an insole. i usually wear 10 in vans, 9 converse all stars. my most perfectly sized shoes are a pair of cheaney cairngorms, and strangely i'm also an 8.5 (but UK!, which flies in the face of the usual size down at least half a size from yr US size size advice for shoes/boots) in those. i find the length on the coupen is fairly normal, it's the "volume" of the boots that feels a little oversized. if you have "thin" feet, the boots might feel a bit loose even though the length might be spot on. maybe you can ask masuya how the coupen sizing compares to the caspers.

thanks for the sizing advise guys; this helped a lot

What leather is that???

[vgadjo]

Hey,

 

Got my RW repaired at our awesome cobbler in Montreal, Carinthia.

I asked for soles that are not flat as the original ones. Great work from a dedicated man.

 

Cheers

It’s a teacore horsehide, I think standard and strange worked with Wesco to source it especially, not sure it’s a common Wesco option.

[Broark]

So I returned the RWs I posted recently, just couldn't get into the red color of the leather.
Now I'm looking at some Tricker's, saw these marked down on Instagram and emailed the shop and they have my size in stock.
General consensus on Tricker's? What do you guys think of these in the marron color?

 

[mpukas]

@Broark I'm a big fan of Tricker's. I think their design. styling and construction quality are awesome. Built bomber. But that's just my opinion, maybe they aren't all that for others... I like the marron color a lot better than the RW's you posted. They're a much classier, more dressy shoe w/out being a full-on dress shoe. If that's what you're after. I think they can be dressed up and go well w/ denim

[ushokmwn]

@Broark I have the Woodstock in espresso with leather soles. Superb shoes. Also have the Burford in espresso and two pairs of Stows which I don't wear a lot anymore. Maybe again next winter. I like them a lot for their rounded front. Leather quality is A+.

I prefer darker browns but among those two definitely the marron ones.

[Broark]

Thanks for the feedback guys, I think they seem like a very nice casual/semi-dressy option that would be good for the summer.
Going to think on it a little more, don't want to be too impulsive! Like mentioned above I would prefer that they were slightly more brown, but the color is appealing.

[mlwdp]

Before I went with my White’s, I was seriously looking at getting a brogue boot by Trickers.  It was a logger type boot.

[Aries]

Yep Tricker's are very well made. If you haven't had a pair before do your research on sizing, they're UK sized and the lasts can vary in fit widely.

[oomslokop]

i reckon they'd be too dressy for your current styling preferences (working it out from yr various fit pics).

[Broark]

Yeah, I think you're right Ooms.  Nice shoes but I think I'll pass for the time being.

[bartlebyyphonics]

trickers, whilst being uk 'country', are definitely more formal than redwings or us work boots... the pair of trickers (a wing-tip brogue) I have are prob. my best made shoe (don't when they were made though, a thrift-store find)... 

[Taylor_RFG]

Hey guys! It's my first post on this thread. I just wanted to show a custom resole our cobbler Sal did on this Wolverine 1000 Mile boot at our workshop. 

He did a custom stacked wedge and finished it off with a Vibram mini ripple sole. 

We do resoles and repairs at our workshop where we also manufacture all of our own denim and garments.
