Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

I have a pair of these in the dark cherry colour. Were a challenge to get on and off for the first few weeks, but a joy after that. Different feel than taller engineers, though not a different look given they're tucked up under jean legs. Wearable in somewhat warmer weather for me than a taller boot. Similar height to a jump boot, though obviously a different feel than those. Don't think I have any photos, but will have a check.

Ah great thanks man! Appreciate the response!

Do you rate them? They seem somewhat hard to come by but I really like the look and I think a lower pair may be a better way into trying engineer boots for me...

If I get another pair of Brisselblack boots, I’ll probably order them in 8”:

I’m pretty close to ordering engineer boots, but I’m torn between going with Benzein again or Nick’s Station Masters. With my wide feet MTO is my only option, as much as I like the Japanese brands. I’ve owned boots with both lasts, and know that comfort is acceptable with both.

They both have their appeals. Nicks are bulletproof, with thick and sturdy leather (I’m eying the Italian Brown Cypress). They now offer some sleeker toes and single welt stitching, plus the 55 last has a wonderful arch support.

Benzein/Brisselblack offer a gorgeous overdyed horsebutt and a few more custom options - like a bigger heel stack and an 8” height, though the feel is a lot lighter

The wait time is about the same and the Indo boots cost about $100 more (price has really gone up since the first pair I bought in 2022).
