@tody
Lofgren is best
great choice mate !
you’ll love them ! -
I just noticed a couple places now have the Lofgren Duke Ropers in Shinki Hikaku Horsebutt in stock. I really wanted to pre order these but my size was sold out. Now I suppose I could get them. The only problem is I’ve preordered the roughout ones. Can a man have too many ropers?

@tody Kind of a similar experience at the stuf-f store in Düsseldorf when I paid a visit with my IH gear. Thankfully we have IH!

@deanclean seems like the different leathers will make for very different boots. get both. what will the soles be on each?
-
@Nik both have the Vibram 269 soles. They look pretty sharp to me. I’d love to get both. I’ve never tried on a pair of Lofgren boots before so I should probably hold off until I know at least one will fit me.
-
@Daniel-San same dude!! I’ve been eye ballin those myself.

I picked up a pair of devil’s causeway engineer boots in 9.5D. Sizing overall feels great. Boots are a little challenging to get on and off but not terrible.
There’s a ton of heel slip, though. Is that normal? Something that works itself out with wear? If it’s not normal for then I think this last might not be for me. Thanks for any advice.

@chucklando do you have any experience with engineers? My first pair took a bit to get used to the heel slip. It’s an inherent quality of an engineer boot. My Lofgrens had a good amount of volume when I got them. I put a thin insert in them and they become much less heel slippy. The sole will mold to your foot in time, but the heel slip will be there still. Many describe engineers as walking in flip flops or slippers due to the way the heel kinda rises off the sole when walking.

@chucklando
close the top strap to the last hole. this reduces the heel slip a lot from my experience. It’s almost gone one my pair since I did it .

@Daniel-San hey bro!! How are those burgundy donkey punchers treating you?? Been on my mind a long time. Any evo updates?

@Daniel-San damn those are gorgeous. I’ve been dropping some hints to my wife about potential Christmas gifts. These are top of that list!!

@Mizmazzle
They run bigger than the engineers, so choose half size smaller.
Ich have 9.5 in engineers and 9 in the donkeys. -
@Daniel-San thanks buddy. I appreciate it!! I think Lofgren have updated their sizing on this last run. According to standard and strange they have sort of uniformed up their sizing. So a 9 in engineers is now a 9 across the line of models.

decided to pull the trigger on the combat boots in black cxl. i've been through this thread, but would like to check again with you gents who own a pair...did you end up going with the same size as iron rangers or half size down? my rw fit is us9 for iron rangers and blacksmiths, and 9,5 in moc toes
