Shoes that look better with age...

i need sizing help for attractions engineers plsss

Ed go with the same size you take in White's or Wesco, or a half size up if you want a roomier toe box. I am an 8.5 in Wesco and White's, and the 9 in Attractions fits me well with a bit of extra room.

Pretty cool, proper 70s rock star aesthetics.

Just got my White's natural CXL nomads back from Baker's. Resoled with Dr Sole raw cord sole and heel, shaft narrowed by 2 inches. Pretty happy with the job although they took an age to do the work.

Before (few months before they were sent):

O man those are killer!

 

Once those are properly broken in after a couple years they will look amazing.

[redragon]

No problem Hoggy.

 

Here you go:

 

 

 

 

Nothing much to write about since it still looks pretty much the same as when I first slip into the boots except for more scratch around the front which is pretty normal with use.

[rayw44]

They look great Fre-co. I think when I have the shafts narrowed on mine I'll take them in 2-2 1/2" total. One looks good, but I prefer a narrower shaft.

Rushed typing. It is 2" narrower at the top. I wouldn't go much more than that personally. I would struggle to get my feet in...

@fre-co:

How much did it set u back?

U know if Bakers resole other brands, like Dayton?

[SuperJackle]

Anybody have any experience with the OSB trench boot? I'm trying to find a boot that actually fits my wide foot with decent toe box room and read these might fit the bill.

The resole was $120, the shaft narrowing made it about $190. Yeah I think they do any boots and they stock dr sole products.

A silly question, but especially for anyone who has experience with Moto: I noticed their shoe sizes range between half a size. I'm looking at the engineer in 9.5, which is listed as 27.5-28 cm. I assume that these actually measure 28 cm? 

 

I wear a 10E in Red Wing boots, which technically is 28 cm; does anyone reckon the Moto would work for me? If not, all's well, I'll probably just go with White's Nomad. Thanks in advance!

[edmond]

Stay away from iak street boys. Rather go whites for that price range

[Iron Horse]

Oak Street? I was comparing White's with MOTOR.   

 

Yeah, I've seen and heard plenty of mixed things about Oak Street, not looking at them.

Nomads compared to boss id take the boss fucking comfy super

[SuperJackle]

Yeah I had asked on the last page about the oak Street trench boot, pretty sure that's what Ed was talking about. Ed or anyone else, I know whites does custom according to your foot, but do they have any lasts that aren't such a tapered toe box? Like I said I'm looking for something quite large as I want toe splay.

[itsbenhere]

I think of all the boot manufacturers wouldn't whites be the best to avoid a tapered last? I'm sure you can get something nice and chunky. Unlike viberg who only fucking makes lame pretty-boy lasted boots...

 

Anyway, I've never seen this mentioned. What is the seam on the back of these? anyone else not a fan?

 

[Graytrain]

Thank you. I've struggled to find the words to describe how I feel about Viberg. 

[edmond]

Whites have a wide toe box specialy the munsun last

I've the steer hide engineer boot ordered direct from Moto last year. I wear 8E for  the RW moctoe and chose the same size for the Moto. Lengthwise it fits almost perfectly except for some mild heel slip unless I wear a thicker sock. I don't know whether I can size down 1/2 as the Moto feel like a D width. So size 9.5 may work for you, IH. But your best bet I think will be size 10 considering the narrower width.

Thanks for the info; it's odd, because Moto lists the engineer boot as having an E width, but I guess it's a slim E-.
