There are a lot more. I do not recommend Clinch Brass Tokyo.

Why do you not recommend Clinch??

So I have these for sale in Classified section, *However I would like to know for anyone who has had Personal Experance with the same model, if the MP toe stretches out any at all?* I would vastly prefer to keep them around, however I still believe they may not ever quite fit correctly with the toes.

Love the boots, just a bit on the small side in terms of length.

Not in my experience they don't, sorry. The toes on mine have pretty much kept their shape.

The boots look awesome, but what jeans are they????? You can PM me the answer if you want, or answer here. Doesn't matter to me.

Thanks! Those are a pair of 12oz selvedge denim jeans by GUSTIN. They're called "Japan Red Fire," as they're made from an indigo warp/fiery red weft combo.

John Lofgren's continuing to age nicely.

today, I got a long discussion with a local bootmaker to order a new boots, I drew these 2 models, one is more robust and the other is more fashion, both I want removable harness belt, finally I went with the one on the left the one more biker look. the material would be dark brownish grey nubuck with lightly blackened veg sole and antiqued brass hardware. one day I would have the other one made too in black suede, but maybe by another maker since this maker obviously has more "biker or western style" in mind.

Very nice models, I would definitely sport both

Entering a for me new rabbit hole. Can you give me some advice about the fit of Wesco boots and John Lofgren engineer boots. I am a 7,5 in Viberg 2030, 1035, 310 (only in 310 with an insole), 7,5 in Red Wings IR, 8 in Truman Boots and a 7 in Trickers Stow Boots, 8 in Converse. For what size should i look. How are the fit of Wesco and John Lofgren Boots in comparison? Which one would you prefer? I don't ride a bike.
Thanks for any help.

There are palpable differences between the two boots. I personally prefer the Lofgren. I feel they are "finer" (details/ stitching/ leather). In jackets- I would compare them to Real McCoy. The Wesco are awesome for a pair of durable boots (think Aero Jackets). The upside to Wesco is the ability to customize.

Insomnia,
I find that the standard Wesco Boss runs a little wider than my Red Wings (I wear a 10.5 EE in Red Wing and a 10.5 D in the standard Wesco Boss). I have never tried the Lofgrens so I can’t comment on their fit. I have seen them and handled them in person though, and I agree with handymike that they are a more elegant and refined version of the engineer boot.
Since you are just starting out with engineer boots I would like to tell you about my favorite boot, the Wesco 7400. This boot is built with their motor patrol (MP) toe which gives it more of a classic look than the current style with the round toe and the heavy Vibram lug sole. This boot runs narrower than the standard boss so I purchased mine in an E width and they fit great. Everybody’s foot is different obviously, but for me these are the most comfortable Engineer boots I own.

I wear the Lofgren's and Motor Patrol Wesco's in 10 and 10D respectively, I've found the JL's to be a little narrower across the foot but a touch roomier in the toe box, which for me make them the most comfortable.
