My 8 years old pair of Justins. Made in the USA.
Yeah, it's pretty silly now. He needs an apprentice. You're basically looking at close to 1.5-2 years to get the boots now.I was told "I will begin your boots on January 22nd 2017", then there's the build time, so I figured on around 10 months personally.
I was quoted 10 months total.Yeah, it's pretty silly now. He needs an apprentice. You're basically looking at close to 1.5-2 years to get the boots now.

I volunteered, but I don't think he took me seriously...or maybe I'm too oldYeah, it's pretty silly now. He needs an apprentice. You're basically looking at close to 1.5-2 years to get the boots now.
I have several pairs of Fryes, and they're all very well made. I've seen the Artisinals on Ebay going for heavily discounted prices, but what worries me about those vendors is that some have a no-return policy and, especially with engineers, the sizing is often a problem. Also, I received a pair of lace-ups from one of those sites that are very nice but have more lace-holes on one side than the other. Nordstrom Rack, though, sells Fryes at quite a discount, and the last time I looked they had the Artisanals. I just got a pair of Chelsea boots last week for $179.00 that are very nice. Nordstrom accepts returns, as well.Hello,
I would love to buy a pair of Lofgrens boots, but living in Brazil I have to deal with killer import fees (60% + 18% over goods and freight cost). So I'm looking for other options (last week a lost an auction on ebay for a new pair of Lofgrens with a really good price).
Any thoughts on Frye Engineer Artisanal?
Cheers.

Hi Alex
John Lofgren's can be bought in the UK from ELMC. I have a pair. I'd be willing to buy on your behalf given the funds & ship at cost to you with an 'import friendly' declaration. The shipping would be heavily discounted as I'd use my employers DHL account. Assuming they have your size in stock of course. Ignore the rubbish they have on their site re. sizing. I'm convinced the sizes are US, not UK & they definitely don't run big. I speak from experience.
No problem Alex. I would have been happy to helpHi John
You are very kind, thank you!
I checked the ELMC, and also East West Apparel, but they don’t have my size (11.5 or 12).
I’ll keep looking, couple days ago a pair was sold on ebay for 542 US$.
Cheers.
