Selling my Addict Clothes horsebutt engineers on the CL last. These are the narrower D-width version with Addict’s low-profile unstructured toe, made in black horsebutt that’s beginning to develop some really nice brown-core patina and rolls.

I bought these new directly from Addict in Japan and broke them in myself. They’ve been worn and are comfortably broken in, but never abused — never dyed or refinished, just cleaned and brushed. The uppers are in very good condition and the original Vibram 705 half soles and heels still have a ton of life left.

Fit has been excellent. I’m only selling because I’ve accumulated too many boots and am trying to pare things down; if they don’t sell, I’m perfectly happy keeping them.

Specs
  • Size: 9H / US 9.5
  • Last: CL
  • Width: D / narrow version
  • Leather: Black horsebutt
  • Toe: Unstructured / low-profile toe
  • Sole: Original Vibram 705 half sole
  • Includes original box and Addict leather volume-reduction insoles
Approx. outsole measurements
  • Length: 12.25" / 31.1 cm
  • Widest point: 4 3/8" / 11.1 cm
Length was measured heel-to-wall with the boot rolled forward to account for toe spring. Width measured straight across the widest point.

For fit reference only: my foot measures approximately 27.5 cm. I wear a 9.5D in Role Club engineers and a 9H / Clinch 10H on the CN last. Please compare the outsole measurements above and know your Addict/CL-last sizing, as fit is subjective.

Price context: I purchased these directly from Addict in Japan, but the Japanese retail price doesn’t reflect the full cost of getting a pair into the U.S. once shipping, duties and taxes are included. ButterScotch LB currently lists the same black horsebutt engineer boot at $1,450 new in the U.S.

$1,050 shipped CONUS.


Happy to provide any additional photos or measurements.
