The MCC discusses Engineer Boots! 

Hell yeah dudes

Got my first pair of Engineers yesterday. Very stoked about them. They are the original Wesco X S&S Van Cleef Engineer in Natural Essex.

I have an 11.25-11.5 D brannock size. For those of you who are interested, my experience with Wesco Mister Lou sizing is that the Bakers Boots advise of sizing 0.5 down and sizing up in width actually works. My horsehide Mister Lous were an 11E and I’m not sure if I could have gotten the fit better. For John Lofgrens, I was surprised at how wide the “D-width” was. I followed Standard and Strange’s advice of going 0.5 sizes down if you have a D-width foot. The Lofgrens were definitely roomier in the toe box. My feet don’t have a high instep, so it wasn’t very difficult to initially get my feet into the pass-through of the shaft, but over time I actually needed to get inserts. Even though this was a good fix, it still was slightly too roomy in the toe box for my liking and I ended up selling them. I just ordered my first pair of Role Club 1940 last engineers and I am absolutely stoked to get them. Engineer boots can be a long, expensive process of figuring out the minute details of your foot sizing and what engineer boot lasts are going to be perfect for your feet. If you are at all interested in them, DO NOT skip out on figuring out your sizing as best as possible. The Role Club website has a foot sizing diagram that can be very helpful for getting detailed dimensions of your feet to help in your engineer boot journey, but overall the best way to figure out if something is going to work is for you to actually try something on in person. This is especially true of you plan on purchasing a $2000+ boot, which means that it might even be best for you to fly to the shop itself and try them on before actually taking them home

Some of us boot junkies never get engineer boots. We are doing the addiction with service / heritage boots. Just a different flavor.

I got a few pairs of engineers. Wolverine 10” all the way down to ankle height buckle boots. I love the design.

Cool video, I am still wearing my steel toe Chippewas I got in the late 70’s.

I honestly like the very thorough explanation of every boot. Awesome well informed boot(s) review!

Would love to see the Wesco naturals aging. Must looks fantastic.

ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY PUMPED i found this channel !!!!! THANK YOU GUYS !!! learning ALOT !!

I just love boots, period.

Coming from TFL. Was hoping you would discuss the differences between different types of engineer boots (steel toe moto ones, double stitched PNW ones, super dressy Indonesian and Japanese ones, etc..) a bit more. And in general in what ways and how do engineer boots as a style differs from various other boot styles (for example tanker, cowboy, etc..). Also what you can get in different price brackets. For example as someone living in EU I'd say you have Sendra (Spain) in the 200-300eu bracket, Red WIng (US) in the 300-400eu bracket, Bright Shoemakers (DK, but make by Sendra in Spain) in the 400-500 bracket. After that there's a jump to the ~700-900 bracket where you start getting more stuff from US (Whites, Nicks..), Indonesia and Japan. And of course you can jump to the very high end with some US (Brian, Kreosote) and Japan bootmakers (Clinch,..). Personal grail for me would be a pair of Leather Things Motor engineers from Japan. But cool video nevertheless! Will be looking forward to the next ones, especially the leather jacket one (please discuss your Vanishing Point jacket in detail!).

COOL 😎

The boot that I have that fits me the best is the Viberg 2040 in size 10E. I'm looking for an engineer boot that has a round toe. Normal instep. Any recommendations?

I found in Wesco engineers to go down a half size from 12D true in an 11.5 E width. I can wear a 12D in the Mr. Lou but the 11.5E is a better fit. My Lofgren pair and a different Japanese brand just went down to an 11.5D. I cannot wear the regular leather Lofgren engineers (cannot get them on one foot) but a pair in shinki horsehide fit fine.

Whites and John Lofgren make the best engineer boots/lasts in my opinion

It’s time we as me started talking cool fashion. It’s not metro it’s practical. There is so much quality goods out there. Got red wing 2268 pt91s and getting blue tag vintage Herman’s coming. Real vintage engineer boots probably late 50s or before. If you love em wear em doesn’t matter the cost. What do you think of Herman Blue tag?

Over forty years on two wheels and I have mostly Wesco and Chippewa. I prefer the taller boots for better shin protection. All mine for riding are 16" to 18". What are your thoughts on the taller engineer boots?

That new Role Club RTW drop was actually a new last.

I bought a pair of Frye engineer 12R. Are they considered mid tier or lower?

Greaser boots

Great video, just subscribed. Have you ever tried John Lofgren Engineers? I have his in horween natural cxl and Wesco Mr Lou in Maryam horsehide black teacore. My Lofgrens are more premium, and I like them more.

Dudes, what are those copper pants you are wearing> They look similar to some darker tan 505’s I have, but with a richer color. They look awesome.

Would you be interested in selling that framed poster in the background?

Hey guys just wondering what brand of Duck trousers your wearing?

Im looking to buy a pair of engineers, any wesco alternatives that I dont have to wait 2 years on??

There's only one place for leathers and do I even have to say it? Langlitz.

I love the boots the biggest problem with costume boot sizing that your married to the boots because of reselling the boots I have been scammed with a pair used boots that the seller didn't disclosed that they made for their foot.

*PromoSM*

Nah I will pass on Roleclub, Lofgren, Mr. Lou, etc. way over priced and usually only available up to a size 13. If I want a pair of boots with leather I go for the Wesco Boss and harness. I have numerous pairs with different shaft heights even up to 36 inch for a pair of Boss, size 16. I like boots I can scuff, get dirty, etc.
