@cbez some of the most beautiful Vibergs I've ever seen!

Have you tried John Lofgrens? Love the looks, but the insteps so narrow I can’t get them on unless I oversize grotesquely.

I never found engineers with a tight enough instep for me.

Thank you for your comment and I appreciate your post.

I know your posts and saw your most excellent Flat Heads while doing my research.

Flat Head was on my list of interest but these Wesco Mr. Lou's seem pretty high quality and well made and were about 1/3 the cost of the Flat Head cxl.

I am REALLY going to try to stick with what I have because I don't want anymore boots to dilute the time I can wear what I already have.

Thanks again!!!

Glad, you like them. Some years ago I felt the need to try Engineers as well and also went with Mr. Lou’s. Can’t get a better „first“ pair!

Ok, I have a pretty extensive collection of 12 Cowboy Boots with mostly Full exotic boots of Alligator, Nile Crocodile, Caiman, Ostrich and Python.

Please, show us. I love cowboy boots.

Yep, 2 pair. Had to put in insoles and tongue pads at the instep.
So far the only pull on boots that work for me are Lucchese and Ariat which is not entirely bad company to be in.

Shame!

I was realy, really trying to get a pair of natural engineers from JL. Thought the price was pretty much ok, as well, but just couldn’t get them to fit.

Ordered these. nice leather should be good for winter. Full leather lining. I Like the 360 welt/stitchdown. I also like the lack of external heel counter and flat toe box. I have had so my PNW boots over the years really enjoying “lighter” boots these days. I Will post pics and give my impressions when they arrive.

wesco mister lou engineer natural CXL 9.5E

These are my first pair of Engineer Boots. For me, they fit true to size and fit me perfectly.
I can say that i absolutely love these.

Incredibly overbuilt. Like a pair of Cowboy boots on steroids.

Any yet amazingly comfortable. I have been wearing them around the house like slippers, which is quite an unbelievable accomplishment for something so tough, overbuilt and heavy duty.

With my Schott 519 Perfecto with similar color.

Beautiful. Carmina’s price to quality ratio is hard to beat.
