John Lofgren (Speedway)

Worn for only a few hours and already some nice indigo stains/transfer. I’m really liking these. They look western but not too cowboy-ish. My wife thinks I secretly want to be a cowboy because of my western boots, shirts, cowboy hats, etc. It’s no secret, I WANT TO BE A COWBOY! but these boots are a nice in between. They have a western look but not full on cowboy. I wish the shaft was a little more narrow. I may take them to a cobbler and see what he can do. My first pair of Lofgrens and I think I made the right choice.

oh man! so nice! i've had a shaft narrowed down before. Sent them to a company in texas (don't think it exists anymore) and they essentially cut a pointed down triangle into it and added a engineer boot like buckle at the top.

@Odin43 Nice! I think Donkey punchers will be my next boot from JL . Congrats.

@stichdown-shell
they are pretty awesome. -
I am now officially a John Lofgren owner and scared of never again being able to buying anything else
M43 roughout, finally I found a boot where style, quality and fit are 100% what I wished for.

@Tyler-Durden beautiful! Do you like them?
I love them, I’m 3 pairs deep now. CXL, Badlassi, and the Devils Causway. I think I’m set for a very long time. They have gotten easier to get on. Just needed to get the shaft stretched but overall fit is amazing!
-
Love the look of the engineers. Maybe one day I will add a pair to my collection.

@T4920 you can resole a Lofgren boot for sure but takes some more work then a 360 welt. So the price must be very tempting imo. Is the sole also build on a other last then the standard punchers? I’ve seen some resoles on Lofgren by Brian the Bootmakers which does a great job but things can get pricey.

@Heavy_blue the product description on East West say 'build on original John Lofgren lasts'

Unsure exactly what impact this has on resoling, as I'm new to this boot thing, but just weighing up the pros and cons before dropping £830 on a pair of boots... Being able to resole them is very important to me as I'd want them to last for decades.
