Footwear to go with our jackets

[Ole K. Vik]

Are these Mr.Lou’s the new Maryam horsehide or Horween horsehide ?

It is the Black tea core Horween Chromexel...

J-100 and Daytona. Perfect combo.

Some days ago I ordered an Engineer boot from keystone... Lead time is 6-12 month. I look forward to its delivery. Sizing seems especial, so get in touch with the owner so he can lead you to the right size.

The boots arrived today.
Leather is Horween CXL (would have prefered a veg tanned leather, but there is no other choice).

The shaft is shorter than expected from pictures. That's actually nice for me, because I can slip in whithout a problem - I have a high instep and my second problem is that I can't "bend" my feet to a large angle. Tried recently to slip in Lofgren and Attractions Engineer - no way I could slip in these .

some poor pics

Congrats on the delivery! They look really good and I was unaware of Keystone before this. Always good to learn about more engineer boots out there, and definitely post update pics!

Nicks Urban Loggers. Chestnut W&C leather with honey vibram sole. Ordered 1/11/21. Received today. They sized me in a 10F (with wide bois my sizing from other makers is all over the place) and fit is fantastic. This is more heel height and arch support than I’m used to but I’m optimistic these’ll be good for my flat feet. Fall can’t come soon enough.

Most of TFL goes from fashion to heritage but I guess it's the other way around for me. I dunno why these are being looked down upon by the "rugged" folk, 'cause they sure as paint are sturdy af and they look the part.

Anyway, while I love vtg inspired footwear, problem is I always found most of it kind of boring - Well, not exactly boring but nothing that particularly stands out - Which is why I never seriously got into high-end heritage makers. At the same time, while I always liked cowboy boots, I always felt they're sort of too... Cowboy and not something that truly wanted to be a part of my style.

SLP's Lukas boots ain't nothing revolutionary of course but at the same time, they're done in a way that to me personally, has no alternative. And I've spent weeks looking into every possible (preferably cheaper) alternative because I ain't paying the kind of money these guys are asking, until finally deciding I guess I'm just going to have to pay the kind of money they're asking.
I even made a long list of boots from other makers that would scratch this itch, each morning picking one I'll definitely buy, until ultimately completely giving up on 'em by sundown. It'd just be buying something that I desperately want to look like something I'm too cheap to buy. So I said to heck with it. Sold a coupla jackets and bought these.

It's no secret SLP has the best looking silhouette in footwear out there & that Wyatt's might be the most perfect boot ever made but I always preferred these. Since I have 13 black boots, I guess I just kinda lucked out that these popped up in my size in brown at... Okay-ish price.

And here they are!

They are absolutely spectacular. I have no idea how much you paid for em but I’d say it was worth it!
