Biltbuck Lot 444 by Attraction

@Daniel-San damn, sorry to hear that. I was curious about your thoughts on these. 269 is definitely out of my wheelhouse house too if it’s wider than the 444.

I am really impressed by these boots. Hows the shaft? Narrow enough to wear under 555 or not? Are they roomier than Lofgrens engineer boots? I just got some Wescos for now but you need to make plans no?

@ZackB
they are wider than the 444. For me the problem is that I have to wear orthopedic insoles and therefore I need to size up . So they might be good for you even they are a little wider than the 444. Guess they would be ok for me if I could wear my normal size 9.5 without insoles. but sizing up and a little wider makes them too big for me.

the leather is much thinner and softer than the sturdy horse butt on the 444, but that makes them interesting for those who look after comfortable boots out of the box .

@FlavourFade
they are definitely wider than the Lofgren !
but the shaft is wider too . I didn’t manage the 444 to work with my 555, but the 269 seem to have a shaft that’s a little more narrow than the 444 have . And as the leather is much softer it might work.

width aside, how does the instep compare to a mr. lou?

Specifically I have a slightly narrow foot, but more of a problem is that I have a fairly low volume / low instep to where most boots fit extremely sloppy on the top of my foot where a slip on boot needs to fit a little snug.

@pechelman
can’t compare them to the Wesco’s .
But if you want engineers that fit like a sock , than Clinch is the way to go .
Role Club would be a great alternative too, and easier to get at the moment I guess.

Thanks @Daniel-San
The wesco has the right instep for me in a standard D width but the toe height is pretty low. I requested more toe height in a new wesco custom mr. lous that should be ready next week, so I'm hopeful for those. I'll checkout those other boots, hopefully i can find somewhere to try them on.

Most other pull on boots ive tried fit me terribly b/c of this.

@Daniel-San thanks a lot! They look amazing, maybe I have to look into them. I wonder if the pair you don't keep is my size

[Daniel San]

@FlavourFade
they are size 10

@Daniel-San sadly it's not in the budget right now after giving it some thought. Looking forward to the next Updates in this thread though.

Will you get the black hh lot444 ones instead?

[Daniel San]

@FlavourFade
yes that’s the plan. Hope they arrive soon. but might be a few months
