How to headline? I wore these for commercial construction 5-6 days a week.

All in all, I love these boots, but I'm done with them for awhile. They can handle being work boots, but I'm done wearing them that way. Although they're pull on, dealing with straps and buckles is just as annoying as laces. Also, I need boots that can get wet. I hated Seinfeld's suede jacket for the same reason.

Style

I think these are some of the best looking engineer boots around that are easy to get your hands on. I've wanted engineer boots for a long time. They have a western aesthetic with pirate swagger. They're just SUPER cool. I'm not sure what type of engineers wore these when the style was invented, but the name was good enough for me to wear them to work in commercial construction.

How did you determine your size?

Online Guide

I emailed AND talked with a human being or two about sizing. I referenced my Whites and Nicks models. Those 11.5Ds led them to recommend these in 11E. It worked out!
