Footwear to go with our jackets

[Blackadder]

Those are sleek looking. Do they make it in full leather or just the canvass?

Full leather too but only custom order at a premium.

Got it, I'm sure about the premium part lol how long is the lead time for production normally? I hope they make a batch for standard and strange soon

Not sure about the trainers but engineer boots may take up to a year. I think it would be faster if done thru a dealer.

^^ it's not so bad considering how in demand they are. my local stockist gets boots from them every now and then but they sell very quickly.

Did a review of my Clinch horsehide engineer boots if anyone is interested: https://almostvintagestyle.com/2020...y-brass-tokyo-horsehide-engineer-boot-review/

I thought this would be good to post here because nothing goes with a leather jacket like some engineer boots

Thanks! I love engineers and these are easily my favorite ones.

I have the low version in canvas and leather, they did take about a year

@red devil those are so wild. I love them.

I initially wanted them in all leather, but they told me that I would be better off with canvas in summer, so I went for this combination

I like it this way. They're already a unique design so might as well go all out.

Looks great, I really like it. Do you just go with your brannock size?

Very nice review here! My quiver is full with a pair of Lofgren's and Wesco Mr Lou's, but these are very attractive and well made works of art that you can wear.

I was at the main store and tried their sample. Their sizing is a bit different I was supposedly 11CN which stands for classic narrow. But I am EU size 43 or 44 depending on the last

That's what's preventing me from ordering too, I'd be hard pressed if I waited for a year and ordered the wrong size. I'll probably just wait til the pandemic is over and visit Tokyo to get fitted too

If you can wait, that is for the best. Otherwise you could always send them your foot tracing?

Just to be clear, they don't make a custom fit, they choose the size that best suits you

The "Clinch" sizes are smaller so a Clinch 9.5 is US 8.5. e.g. It is marked Clinch 9.5, US 8.5, UK 8 on the box of my engineer boots.

Noted on the no custom fit heads up. I'm anywhere between US 8-8.5 depending on the last. The foot tracing might work too

That's good to know. Thank you.
