    Engineer Boots Crisis!

    I've sent the boots back to him to send back to the factory. I don't know what the next step will be. Let's see if they can correct them. If not, I'll ask for a refund or I'll sell them on. Yourself? @Sloan1874

    Engineer Boots Crisis!

    I bit the bullet today and ordered a size 7 Attractions, lot.269. If they don't fit they'll exchange them for a size that does.

    Engineer Boots Crisis!

    Update - Simon has asked that I return the boots to him to send back to the factory to try and sort out the issue.

    Engineer Boots Crisis!

    @Gav, what's your sizing like in attractions? I'm thinking of ordering a size 7 (uk 6.5) this is what they have suggested and is pretty true to size for me.

    Please do, I'm interested to know if this is a boot fault or just a foot thing!

    Engineer Boots Crisis!

    I've emailed Attraction, very tempting although I do prefer a round toe and they look on the less round side of engineers. Perhaps a pair of Chippewa or Redwing is the best way forward for me. @Cocker I contacted Simon yesterday, he suggested sticking a pair of insoles from my trainers in there...

    Engineer Boots Crisis!

    @Gav salivating over Attractions boots and clothing right now, theyve got some great stuff. I'm assuming their sizing is US on their website which means they do stock a UK 6 in the boot i'm looking at. Whether or not the last would work for me is hard to say without trying them on. I'll go to...

    Engineer Boots Crisis!

    @wdw just checking out Wescos' site, looks like they start in a US8 so the custom would be the only option for me. Salivating at the build you own tool they have on their website but again its pricey! If only i'd had Brexit foresight id have stocked up on boots!

    Engineer Boots Crisis!

    @wdw, i wasn't aware of Brians prices, only messaged him today. As much as i'd love to spend that on a boot, you're right in that i could jump on a flight to the US, or buy a pair of each other brands you mentioned for the same price! I think i've just gotta go and get my feet properly measured...

    Thanks for this, i had a look at Wescos site today and sent them a message regarding a pair of factory seconds from there site, Morrisons not Engineers but they look pretty nice. The AA width may be tight though!

    Engineer Boots Crisis!

    Thanks for your feedback - good to know not to keep persevering with them and that this isnt how they are mean to be feeling. I actually sent Brian the Bootmaker an email today, i live in the UK so shipping fees would be an extra ad on. I'll have a look at Attractions now, i hadn't heard of them

    Engineer Boots Crisis!

    Hi, i'm new to posting on this forum but have done quite a lot of reading. Having deliberated and obsessed over engineer boots for some time, i took the leap and bought a pair from a British designer who does short runs of clothes / shoes called Simon James Cathcart (his stuff is great)! . The...
