Q&A

Why did you choose this item?

I chose engineer boots because my work conditions often require me to use a motorbike, if I have to get caught in the rain during the trip, I don't need to hesitate and can continue to use these engineer boots because they are waterproof and water-resistant when it rains!

How did you determine your size?

Compared to Other Lasts

I use Batu Last size 42 which is slightly modified to fit my foot shape. I don't have to worry about sizing because my feet are directly measured by the owner of Briselblack, Mr. Adi. Mr. Adi is also very easy to consult and work with. So this Batu Last is very comfortable to wear! Compared to Ben-01 Last in my Jodhpur Briselblack, Batu Last is much roomier in the toe area, creating deeper rolls!

I contacted Briselblack Bootmaker (Mr. Adi) and made an appointment for a store visit to Bandung (I live in Jakarta). Mr. Adi is very good at communicating online and offline, making it very easy for customers to order shoes at Briselblack. Doing a store visit allowed me to see a lot of boots made by Briselblack! When my engineer boots were finished, Mr. Adi brought them from Bandung to Jakarta and we met for coffee together and talked a lot about boots!
