More about this item

I bought this pair of 10.5 D Lofgren engineers in lightly worn condition and began wearing them in March of 2023. My first photos featured here will show the results of (just shy of) two years of wear. The soles and heels are still in great shape and the leather is forming to my feet well at this point. There is considerable heel slip, as I have a somewhat narrow heel and low instep, but this has improved as the midsoles have broken in. I make hand sewn leather wallets, often using the Badalassi veg tan leather, so I had to have these boots when I found out they were offered in the Cognac (Minerva Smooth?).
